Feedback from previous students
Excellent teacher. Warm and welcoming. Overall, wonderful experience
Captain Diaz was excellent. I was tired from work and travel and nervous about how the test would go. Captain Diaz relaxed me and did not rush me which allowed me to settle most of my anxiety. The test was remarkable comprehensive of the course material covering all the areas covered. Captain Diaz's boat was immaculate and handled beautifully, with his warning of some pulls on the wheel in steering, All and all, I was impressed with the "system" from captain, to boat, to location, to the comprehensive nature of the examination process.
I would give Captain Diaz, 5 of 5 stars on his performance and professionalism.
Captain Diaz was a gem!
Friendly, competent, tactful.
We practiced maneuvers on his immaculate Catalina 380 sailboat.
When we reviewed the engine and impeller changes, his boats engine was clean as a whistle!
very knowledgeable, patient and never felt rushed. Capt Diaz took his time to clearly went over the tasks, pros and cons of different situations and shared several tips he gathered over his long and extensive sailing experience.
His boat is in impeccable condition and access is excellent, centrally located and Biscayne Bay a great place to sail.
I had a great time with Instructor Joaquin Diaz, he was thorough, very knowledgeable, and friendly. His boat was kept meticulously clean and in perfect working order. The Practical Assessment was fun and enjoyable, and I would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn anything about sailing and or boating safety.
Joaquin did a great job explaining what was expected and gave a good explanation of how his boat worked. The boat was responsive and I learned a lot about boat handling in reverse. I will be more competent handling our own sail boat.
Joaquin is a good communicator. He responded promptly to all questions and arrangements. He was a positive instructor - not a yeller. :-) All around knowledgeable, nice guy.
World class great guy and instructor. He is knowledgeable and well versed in the requirements for the SLC. I could not have found a better person or place to take my test.
