“We tried the starter dive with them, our second ever dive. Coming from Ireland we didn't have much experience. Our instructor Francesco was amazing and really put me, a very anxious diver, at ease. He looked after me throughout the dive and helped at every step. They have multiple instructors on a dive and break you into small groups. They do photography throughout the dive. The location they chose to dive on had amazing rock features and loads of fish crabs to see. My more experienced husband was allowed to enjoy his dive and really got to experience an amazing time, " he was like a fish". We happened to…”

“They take time at the beginning to explain things to you and even though English isn’t their first language it was all easy to understand and clear. The dive itself is just outside their store on the costal front which actually gets deep quite fast and has a surprising array of colourful fish and sea life as well! The dive lasts around 40 minutes and honestly the whole time you feel so safe and are allowed plenty of time to get used to it as it is definitely a new experience. Once back in the shop it is a really modern shop with really nice showers and changing rooms .…”

“It was my first dive and Doina made it safe and fun. Before the dive, we had an intro course and went through the basics of diving at the diving center. The very first dive itself takes a bit of time to get used to the whole equipment on you and actually dive with it, but even if you struggle, with the assistance of Doina you will reach the bottom. While diving we saw a stingray, and a group of fish approached us and made the diving experience really unique. There are pictures and videos at an additional cost, but totally worth purchasing it!Read more”
