5.00With my daughters aged 14 and 13, we made this experience unforgettable. Nico, our instructor was always attentive to us all being comfortable. A great professional!
Great dive experience, but water entry/exit were a little challenging

5.00The gear was heavier than I remember from previous dives. Access to the water was via a rocky set of about 6 wet and slippery "stairs" and was hazardous. Surf was rough and made the final gear donning a challenge. It was the same way coming out. Perhaps use of fiberglass tanks would lighten the load, but access/egress conditions come with that particular dive site. The instructor did say that diving off a boat would have been less of a challenge. The dive was a great experience. Lots to see with the reef and its variety of sea life.... turtles, crabs, colorful and interesting fish, sea urchins, and a Moray Eel. This was the most I have seen underwater in my diving career of maybe 5 dives. Richard was a very professional and experienced dive-master and was very accommodating to the new diver on our trip, helping her to properly document the experience. The equipment was all in good shape and everything needed was provided.
Amazing experience and instructor

5.00It was an amazing experience. The instructor, Nicolas, were great. He helped us all along, even helped with the gear so that my wife did t have to carry it. Our group was just the two of us, so, it was amazingly personalized. They even helped me prior to the experience, because I thought we couldn't be able to do it. Very important, as the info says, check the diving forms and ASK about any doubts you may have. It's not super demanding but it can be taxing on your stamina. Don't be afraid to try it, it's super safe.
Good experience and very safe.

5.00Everything was very good. The guides very attentive and very friendly. I quite liked the initial exercises to properly manage the equipment, as they helped make the experience safer. Even in the mask I was getting water when we were doing the initial exercises, so they helped me change it and until I felt ready and safe with the mask we did not start the tour. The whole tour was good and quite quiet. We saw turtles very close and some variety of fish. Highly recommended.
Nico is Awesome!

5.00The experience was incredible. Nico was our guide and he was amazing. He walked us through safety, equalizing, breathing and everything clearly. He made us feel comfortable and took us around under water for about an hour. We saw all sorts of different fish and a turtle.
