Amalia was our your guide. Beyond patient, a pleasure to have with us. George at the shop and other staff we so friendly, helpful, and making you feel very welcome and in supporting hands. First time and my husband was in heaven and wish it would have lasted longer. He is now officially hooked. Would recommend this for anyone wanting to see if scuba diving is for you. You are in good hands with this team!

The guide made the difference from great to amazing

George went out of his way to make this a great experience. We navigated when and how we wanted to, he provided great equipment and snacks, fantastic conversation, advice, and information about the places we went. Very friendly and accommodating, it felt like I was talking more with a friend than a guide that I hired. Would strongly recommend.

We had a very nice experience and big up for the team

The team was very kind and welcoming, everything was made for us to have a nice experience. They took care of us so that we felt safe and comfortable. The kids really enjoyed it and we can't wait to do it again!

If you want a real outdoor experience this is a must. we booked it last minute to find a beach experience and this turned out better. Time to swim and experience more than one beach in a day.

A fun morning with a knowledgeable guide. A good way of spending a few hours out and about. Definitely worth it
