    We absolutely loved this experience. It was our first time scuba diving and we got to do much more than we were expecting. The instructors ( Manuel and Nora ) were excellent and make us feel safe and confident in the water.

    I really enjoyed this experience. The staff are friendly, organised, professional & patient. They explain things well and help if you need a bit of extra assistance. The water was a bit murky at the start, due to weather and the amount of people swimming that day. However it was clearer further out, we still saw loads of fish and one was my favourite so that’s was a bucket list item ticked off! I would recommend this to everyone, even if you are a bit nervous. You do need 10€ cash extra minimum

    The best activity out of everything we tried in our stay. The diving instructors had years of experience in teaching and guiding tourists who had never done this before, and that showed. Every step of the process was practiced however many times it was needed to feel safe. We got to feed fishes, look for baby octopuses, and meet some statues placed around the practice bay that we were in. Diving was at a depth of 6 meters, and that is something few people will ever get to experience.

    They were very thorough with the training before the dive that made a first timer feel at ease and comfortable
