Summary:
Highly recommend Michalis for anyone who wants an exceptional scuba diving experience, whether starting out or building skills. I had actually begun my PADI Open Water with another school and left feeling nervous, overwhelmed, and low on confidence. From the very first briefing with Michalis, that changed completely. His explanations were crystal-clear, methodical, and absolutely focused on safety. He broke down every skill into calm, precise steps. Underwater, he was very attentive, using clear signals and perfect pacing to keep me relaxed and focused. The dive sites were spectacular. It was the ideal setting to not only learn, but truly fall in love with diving. Michalis gave me and my partner the right reflexes, strong safety discipline, and the confidence to explore. The organization was spotless and the equipment in top condition.Thank you Michalis and Kay!

Summary:
I had two amazing dives with Michalis. First he helped me find the right equipment for me and I was impressed because everything looked like new. He was very punctual and everything went according to the plan. I saw many fishes I haven't seen before and the volcanic bubbles site was impressive!! I believe this experience alone is worth visiting Nisyros. I wish I had the time for more dives or even taking diving courses with Michalis.
