Cudel teaches sidemount and cave out of her own operation on Gozo, and a good share of her students carry on with her in Mexico — several reviews describe exactly that progression, Cavern and Intro to Cave in Gozo, Full Cave later in the Yucatán. She is a Razor specialist and one reviewer bought and had his Razor 2.5 configured with her over multiple dives, which he rates as reason enough to go on its own. The consistent note across eleven reviews is a high bar honestly signposted: "demanding, unforgiving and accepting nothing but perfection", "your certification is not guaranteed and you may need some extra days", and at the same time clear structured steps to reach the standard and a French sense of humour that four separate reviewers bring up unprompted. Video debriefs are the method people remember — filmed every day, watched back in detail, described by one long-standing student as "nit-picking" and the most valuable part of the course. Four reviewers have trained with her repeatedly since 2015 or 2017, and two mention she stays reachable and organises trips for former students long after the certification.
