“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…”

“The course was a gift from my wife, I was a tiny bit tense regarding the use of snorkel (because of some childhood water trauma), and knowing I would have to take off the mask submerged, switching air, and just inhaling air under water!? Wtf! Not natural. But hey, phenomenal instructors! I was guided very well and taken care of supremely well. Did the exercises once, sometimes several until I got them satisfactorily. Instructors Cedric and Sergio were excellent. Calm and collected at all times. The atmosphere in the shop with the other instructors was very nice, and delightful Denise behind the counter was the smiling boss concierge.”

“Just had my first scuba dive which was on my bucket list for a verrrry long time. It was a very special 10th anniversary gift. I chose to do the shore dive as I was a bit nervous as I only knew the basics of swimming. But my diving instructor Gaya was amazing. She explained everything clearly and was patient. She made sure I was at ease and did not rush at all. Would highly recommend her. I did see a sting ray, school of fish and a few colourful fish too. Definitely going to do it again hopefully not too far in the future”

“Great diving and in small groups. So there's always loads to see when you're not in a crowd of 6-8 divers. They take care of your equipment and even rinse it for you, which is uncanny (in my experience). Definitely worth a visit, worth using their scooters, and worth the opportunity to check out some really nice dives in the area.”
