My boyfriend and I loved our experience here. We had never been diving before and I was slightly nervous, but kind and welcoming staff made it an amazing experience by explaining everything carefully. I’m so happy we happened to book excursion, as beautifully clear water allowed us to see so many incredible things. It was like viewing a picture and divers had a great sense of humor, making it feel like diving with friends, so I would highly recommend it to anyone!
