“Tati and her staff are top of the line people when it comes to training and really care that you complete and pass with above average scores,” says Bruce Bodden, a graduate of the Barefoot Cay program who currently is an active dive professional on the island. “I cannot think of enough accolades and words to describe her dedication. Tati and her staff took whatever time was necessary for all of us that needed that little extra assistance to ensure we would succeed.”

Tati’s professionalism and in-depth industry knowledge have resulted in a new generation of local dive professionals providing quality service and guidance to visitors and locals wanting to enjoy the local waters.
Another one of Tati’s graduates Anastasiia Kubrak said, “I was told ‘If you want to be JUST an instructor do it with anyone, but if you want to be a GREAT INSTRUCTOR you should do your training with Tati’. And that’s what I did.” A native of Ukraine, Anastasiia is putting her training to good use, working full-time as a dive professional on Roatan.
She adds, “I felt so confident at the exam compared to other students who did their IDC with other course directors. I knew I am trained so well and I shouldn’t be worried about anything. My expectations were fulfilled 1000% and I am very grateful to Tati for all the work that was done and for making me a great Scuba Instructor!”
