My experience here is fabulous! Love the vibe here and the team is so supportive and friendly. Dan is very nice and provided me a lot of advise for my future dive. A big big thanks to Yolanda! She is super nice and patient and encouraging me all the time. She kept checking my feelings so that I feel secured and really get to learn the skills and enjoy my time. The course itself is well designed. The confined water session is also performed in the sea but in the shallow areas which makes it more fun as you can see fishes swimming around you while you are practicing all those techniques. Definitely recommend this place!
