Vangel taught sidemount and recreational courses out of Prana Dive in Amed — A sidemount student describes being told in advance that the course would be hands-on and that his gear would be handled underwater, which he appreciated as setting expectations rather than springing it on him, and calls it the best course he has taken. Others single out his habit of coaching beyond the syllabus, giving pointers on general diving rather than only the skills being assessed. Divers who had trained elsewhere in Southeast Asia contrasted Prana under his management with the region's certification mills.
