Fun dive

It was a little chaotic getting on the boat. There are a lot of people going to different boats at the same pier, at the same time. Our guide got us through all of that. Our guide also brought a couple of cameras and took some great photos and videos for us. That was very helpful. Overall, it was a fun time and we are glad we went on this tour.

Another great diving trip with Seafarer.

Second trip with Seafarer, chose to go with them again after having such a good experience first time round and this trip proved to be just as good. Took my 11 year old son who is just getting into diving. The crew are all so friendly and great with kids. Our instructor clearly knew his stuff and took care of us both, making sure our knowledge was up to scratch before our first dive. He really looked after my son, giving me space to enjoy my dive and to watch my son enjoying his. Organisation is good, food just right and coffee/juice available throughout the trip. I paid extra for video/photos of our dives and, for me, well worth the money. No real negatives, but if you are prone to seasickness, make sure you take your tablets well in advance, if the breeze gets up it can be quite rocky!

wonderful experience, highly recommend

Had a beautiful day diving with the lovely instructor Tum who was so patient and kind and did everything to make my experience wonderful and happy. Everything was very neatly organised, got tranfer from my hostel, drinks and food all throughout the day, all the equipment was very well maintained and everything went so smoothly. Dived in two spots and shnorkeled in a third, saw many fish, baracudas, cuttle fish, two huge turtles and lots more. Would definitely come again if I could and highly recommend :))
