The instructors were very enthusiastic and comforting. I was very nervous and almost didn't do it, but the instructors gave e very helpful tips on how to relax and I was able to overcome my fear. The experience was incredible and I and I'm ecstatic I chose Santorini Scuba Academy for my 1st dive

This was a great scuba diving experience. The instructors and staff were extremely nice, helpful, and patient. They were happy to adapt to everyone’s comfort level of the group. They were very experienced instructors and gave a very clear and detailed demonstration before getting in the water. We felt very safe and at ease when scuba diving during this excursion. Highly recommend to anyone we saw a lot of great fish.

Beautiful experience. The super kind and prepared stuff took us to the dive site and after a briefing of about half an hour on equipment and rules to follow we left for the underwater adventure in a group of 6 people. Water and fruit at the end of the dive made us very happy :)
