Re: Ocean Air - Any Info?
Are you thinking of doing a float rating there?
I worked for Dave about 6 years ago. He offers an excellent product for those looking to do either a float rating or the 50 hour course. He also does quite a bit of charter work, or at least he did when I was there.
He also has Brian Webster working for him.
Brian is the owner of an under water egress training company dedicated to seaplane safety.

In my opinion the combination of these 2 gentlemen you can't do any better.
In the year that I was there I had every conceivable student. From brand new commercial students to an RAF Tornado Instructor.
Progress and being prepared is the key with any training and Dave is no exception. He won't blow sunshine if he doesn't think your progressing just for the sake of getting you to spend more money. His airplane is in great shape and he maintains it meticulously.

Yep echo that. Came over from Scotland last year with my son - we both did the rating, flew with Bryan and Dave. The aeroplane is indeed immaculate. Appropriate training, delivered well. And added value to the training by making a real holiday out of all that hard work. Can't wait to go back.
