Summary: A wonderful diving experience and with very friendly diving instructor! Every thing was explained well and everyone made us feel at ease. Constantly checking that we were okay and every thing understood throughout the dives. Would definently dive with Matias again, a great instructor.

Summary: A great team. Mathias was a very cool and educational teacher and Mariana was so kind and devoted (not usual to see someone driving you everyday to the diving center as we hadn’t car !). My daughter was so happy with this experience (open water course). Congrats again. Super week spent, thanks to you 🙏

Summary: These guys were amazing! Extremely personal service! My husband and I are very experienced divers and booked this off of Viator. We were just here for a day off the cruise ship but would definitely come back since we own a dive shop in the United States!
