    We were nervous at first and my mom is a little older so she was more nervous. I try to tell her it would be fine, which I was also nervous but didn’t show it. The instructor was professional and knowledgeable, always asking if we were okay and really taking his time explaining things to us and checking on us.

  • Unforgettable First-Time Dive

    One single word to describe my scuba diving experience: Perfection! It was my very first time diving, and it couldn’t have been better. Communication with Malin was excellent—always clear and patient. We received a detailed explanation about the equipment, safety, and underwater signals. Before diving, we practiced everything at the shore until all three students did it perfectly; that’s when the real adventure began. Once underwater, I applied everything I had learned: clearing the mask, ear equalization… everything went smoothly. The experience was simply unforgettable, and the photos and videos taken by Malin are truly epic! 100% recommended!
