Excellent experience. We were a family of 4, with teenagers; this being their first time diving. The safety instructions were detailed and easy to understand. Since you start the dive from shore vs a boat, it is very easy to practice and get used to the breathing and feeling of diving. Once into the dive, our instructor took it slow and always ensured everyone was ok and ready to go deeper. This was a fabulous experience, tailored to beginners. We would have liked to dive longer, but understand not all beginners feel as comfortable or have the physical endurance as we did. Everyone in the dive team and office staff are very friendly and communicative from booking thru to sending pictures afterwards. Highly recommend this experience and dive company.

A very nice experience that we were able to do as a couple, it was really great! The instructor explains all the process really well and supervises us really well once underwater, for the first time we are delighted to have had Mike and Alex as instructors I recommend them 100%

THE ACTIVITY WAS FUN... I WOULD SAY IT'S ABOUT AVERAGE. MAYBE I AM SPOILED BY PREVIOUS DIVING EXPERIENCES BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH TO SEE. NOW I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE TOUR GUIDE BECAUSE HE WAS EXCELLENT AND MADE SURE EVERYONE WAS SAFE; CONSTANTLY CHECKING TO SEE THAT WE WERE ALL HOLDING UP! HOWEVER, THE VISIBILITY WAS NOT GOOD AND AND IT WAS SUPER WINDY THAT DAY, SO MAYBE THAT PLAYED A PART IN IT. IF THE COMPANY COULD FIND A NEW SPOT TO DIVE WITH MORE DIVERSITY THAN THIS TOUR WOULD BE AWESOME.
