The instructor was the best! We were first time divers, and he guided us towards the technical info first and then at sea.

The guides were so clear when explaining how to do everything and very focused on our safety and ensuring we were looked after at all times. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and the different abilities within the group were well catered for given they provided one guide per two people. Absolutely amazing.
