5.00We had an amazing experience with Neven and Charles! My wife and I were looking forward to this when our honeymoon began and it did not disappoint. They were both extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and confident showing us the equipment used and around the sea floor. Even with my anxiety around some sea creatures, I felt completely safe in their hands and thoroughly enjoyed my time. It was easily the highlight of our trip! We could not recommend them enough.
Amazing experience. No...

5.00I was impressed from start to finish. Prompt in picking me up, explained the entire process, knowledgeable and put us all at ease. The helmet was easy to wear and the guide was with us the entire time. Took pics of us individually which we were able to purchase. I would highly recommend!

Travelling alone

5.00Because I travel alone (it takes at least two people to set off) so I took part in this event with the European couple and their grandchildren. The guide was funny, the European couple who joined the group was also interesting, the process experience was good, I saw the tricolour sea, the boat broke down on the way, we chatted for a long time while waiting, little episodes made the trip even more interesting Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fish up close and personal

5.00This was a godsend for my husband who can’t swim without his glasses. We’ve tried prescription facemasks, but it’s just not his jam. They do a great job in getting you into the water safely and taking you to an area with lots of fish and a friendly ray.
Anyone can do this. ...

5.00Anyone can do this. Even non-swimmers. Yes, the fish are real. There are a lot of fish with many different kinds. Even got to touch a sting-ray.
An experience of a lifetime

5.00We booked through the cruise ship, and the tender dropped us to the pier on Bora Bora where we were whipped away into the lagoon by speedboat. A very heavy mask is put over your head and rests on your shoulders but basically becomes weightless when you hit the bottom. You can wear your glasses so can see more. The fish were everywhere as we fed them and a ray was playing with us.
