    We did a trial dive as a family of 4 (youngest 13). Dive instructor was very calm and assuring - particularly helping my wife to assist her on her first dive. I have done similar experience before and found this one to be a higher standard on safety practices.

    I was one on one which was very good ,she had a lot of patience with me as I struggled with breathing, following the instructions that I had to do. I was not able to complete the tasks before going into the sea and I felt I was not ready to enter the sea ,I will keep trying to understand why i struggled with breathing and practice if I can,some way to enjoy diving. The lady still let my enjoy the maximum time diving in the swimming pool where it was safe for me ,I will get in the sea some day

    The guide was very friendly but English wasn’t good enough for such complicated instructions. I and son ended up not completing it as didn’t understand the complexities enough to have the confidence of going into open sea
