“I can’t recommend this experience enough! Doina and Laura were amazing, I was more nervous than I thought I’d be in the water but both of the guides picked up on this and Doina actually held my hand throughout the dive which really helped me to relax and enjoy my experience. On the other hand my partner was a natural in the water and they gave him space to try things out himself and explore but stayed close enough to be there if he wasn’t sure of something. Would 100% recommend to anyone at any age or experience level as they really go above and beyond! - Amy”

“It was a fantastic experience! Emil and Ben were great. Emil explained all the basics and helped us try on the suits. Then we headed to the beach with Ben, who drove us and shared lots of interesting information along the way. The actual dive was amazing. Ben guided us patiently and at our own pace, making sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout. Since you never know how your body reacts to diving, it was good to know we could stop at any time if needed. We didn’t see a lot of marine life that day, but the overall experience was absolutely unique and unforgettable. Big thanks to Emil…”
