They were very accommodating for our group, was a fun 2 dives and lunch they provided was great.
Ein mega Diving-Erlebnis! Super entspanntes, kompetentes Team, tolle Spots und eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen und kann es nur weiterempfehlen!
It was very good I enjoyed it Only thing I have not received my photo which our guide took Pl arrange to send you can what's app on same number Thanks
I had a great time diving for the first time. I felt very safe and saw a lot of cool marine life!
What an amazing experience! We were a family of five, complete beginners to scuba diving, including three teenagers and one family member with Parkinson’s. From the start, the team made us feel safe, relaxed, and confident. Everything was explained clearly, all our questions were answered, and the equipment was carefully fitted to each of us. This is a truly professional, knowledgeable, and experienced team. During our dive we were lucky enough to see five giant endangered sea turtles, along with lots of other incredible marine life. We also learned about marine conservation and why it’s so im
Dong was a great Guide! Very kind, very patient, good teacher, absolutely recommendable ! The food on the boat was also very nice and everything perfectly organized
Lovely day out snorkelling on the coast with lunch and snacks. I am new to snorkelling and felt very safe with the instructor and crew.
Io personalmente ho visto solamente un fondale torpido con qualche scoglio, potevamo andare in una zona migliore…
The view and the start point was just beautiful. Also the ride was long and great, same as the food. The only thing is that I didn’t get to see the fishes from close): I could barely notice them from far but I guess it was okay for the price
Perfect expirience. Great teacher.
The teacher/buddy was Mick, a great professional and very helpful and guiding thru anazing coral reefs. The company helped much more what was expected so I had to give a nice tip. t The boat, food, diving sites were great. I would definitely go back again to this school.
