Kind, polite. It will be an experience that exceeds your expectations!
I came to Cebu City alone while I was in Cebu City on a language exchange program.
The hotel where I stayed in Moalboal was a little far away and I was worried about going to the beach alone because I couldn't find anything other than a pick-up tour from Cebu City, so I found this tour and asked for it.
It's been a long time since I experienced diving, but I knew it was good!
I'm very happy to see both sardines and sea turtles.
The shop staff were very kind and even more satisfied.
The divers who were on the boat with us were very kind and we had more fun than we expected!
If you get another chance, I hope you will.
We used it for experience diving.
My partner was diving for the first time and I was very worried about it, but he told me carefully that I was able to dive safely underwater.
Thank you to all the guides.
