5.00I had an amazing first snorkeling experience thanks to my instructor Gloria! She was super friendly, patient and made me feel comfortable and safe from the beginning. Even when I got a bit seasick, she was really kind and supportive. She truly cares about her clients and loves what she does. The whole experience was fun and very well organized. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to try snorkeling in Malta!

5.00Would highly recommend Gloria as a snorkeling guide! Our snorkeling excursion in Malta went perfectly! We are relatively new as a family to snorkeling and Gloria helped us to feel comfortable in our wet suits and in the water. She was the first instructor I have come across to actually take the time to explain the equipment and experience beforehand. She was patient with us and made us feel safe at all times! My kids said it was their favorite experience in Malta and we would love to book with Gloria again on another trip! Thank you for showing us beauty of Malta Gloria and hope to see you again!
