It was my first time ever diving properly. Sergej, our diving instructor, was super helpful, explained everything clearly and in detail. He also guided our small group of 3 girls very well in the water. Once I got a little panic under water - he was there immediately and had his tricks to calm me down. After that everything went perfectly. We dived about 7.5m and for 40 minutes - which was more than enough for the first time. Also in the area where we dived you could already see a lot, even if the focus was more on the "first feeling for diving". All in all great! Definitely makes you want more.

We went with 2 kids 12 + 14, all enjoyed very much the experience! Attentive guide, good safety information and loads of different fish. Continuing to scuba diver course

The crew does such a great job there! Everyone was super friendly and spread a really good mood. For €31 you absolutely get your money's worth.

Beautiful lovely tour to view the national park and the surrounding areas from the sea. I would highly recommend it.

very nice organised, small breaks for everyone who is experienced or non experienced in kayaking.
