5.00Brilliant experience. Really nervous but Joe was just so reassuring, clear and supportive. Wish I could have had a 2nd dive but had to go home. I'd tried before in Cyprus but had a really bad experience and am so pleased Joe got me diving without fear.
Great experience with competent instructor!

5.00Great beginner dive, lovely people, very safe. It’s a slow entry from the beach so no sudden water. You get quickly accustomed to breathing underwater there. Vielen Dank Dimitri, ich wird dich sehen in die Maledive!
