OMG, had such high hopes. Menorca is basically a rocky featureless pile of rocks. Lovely little coves and beaches ( with limited facilities), sardine packed with tourists....probably as there is nothing else to do on the island. Went on a day trip on private boat to snorkel....even the underwater is BORING!....i did like the 'sal de Menorca', salt flakes, very nice
This was a great experience for my wife, son, and myself! We loved the relaxing pool reminders, the boat ride to Las Mujeres island, the first dive to see 400 sunken cement statues, and the second dive to explore the coral reef. Lars, our dive master, can’t receive enough praise for how cool and calm he remained throughout the entire trip, helping my wife feel relaxed and in control as he “let” her guide him under water. It was very memorable, chill and amazing. Make sure to ask for Lars to be your dive master…you won’t regret it!
Lars was an incredible instructor. There was a weather complication that could have made the review 4 stars, but Lars was easily a 6/5 star instructor. Super kind, experienced, and interesting guy.
Our guide Flo was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything well. He took the time to make sure we were safe. I rarely say this, but the photo package was worth the money.
While the experience of Scuba diving was really amazing and loved every single moment of it, booking it thru Viator was the biggest mistake of all. Viator does not show most of the costs that are either hidden or shown only after booking. They had assigned me to a free-lancer diving instructor - Lars, who worked at Blue Dive operated by AquaFun company. I definitely recommend using these guys directly instead of Viator.
Agreed! Don’t be fooled: Aquafueled is NOT the same as the Viator website, and our customer service is genuinely great... so why rate us based on their platform limitations? The experience you described reflects the service and quality Aquafueled consistently delivers, which is independent from the booking platform used. We’re genuinely pleased to hear that you and your family had a safe and amazing scuba diving experience with us—that is exactly the standard we aim to deliver on every tour. We would like to clarify a few important points for future guests. Your experience was provided entirely by Aquafueled Adventures. AquaFun is simply the marina location where multiple independent operators work, Blue Dive is one of them and is not affiliated with us. We all share the same marina facilities, which is why you may have encountered their staff and customers. Lars, your instructor, is in fact the head instructor at Aquafueled and has been leading our dives for several years. While we fully stand behind the quality of the tour you received, we understand your frustration with the booking process. It is important to clarify that the listing details, pricing structure, and overall booking experience on Viator are managed on their end, and we have limited control over how that information is presented or communicated. For this reason, we always encourage guests to read the full trip description (“what is included and excluded” sections) prior to booking. And we contact all guests directly through the Viator messaging system after booking and again the day before the tour with all the information. We respond promptly and ensure all details—including any additional on-site payments—are clearly explained in advance so there are no surprises. As discussed prior to your tour, all details were clarified in advance and alternative options were offered to you, and yet you insisted in confirming your participation with full awareness of the outlined costs. We are glad that, despite the booking concerns, you had a great diving experience with our team.
I felt comfortable around the instructor. He explained everything I needed to know and gave me lots of tips and tricks. I am very happy that I had this instructor.
Our dive instructor, Lars was amazing. He was so patient and kind. Lars spent extra time with students that needed it. We never felt rushed. Lars explained everything and kept an eye on us throughout. I would definitely recommend Lars and the beginners dive class. Even the boat captain was very helpful and kind. 10 stars.
As someone who has never delved into the world of diving, Flo made the dives so comfortable and incredible! Would recommend, cheaper than other providers and lot of actual time spent diving!
It was absolutely amazing! My instructor Lars gave me very clear instructions and it was very easy to follow them. Thank you very much.
We had a great time with Lars! He is a great instructor, very patient and level with you. My friend who is a beginner diver was about to give up when we got to the ocean but Lars patiently coached her and held her hand the entire time until she was comfortable and ready. We are thinking to get her open water certification with him. Lars, if you are reading this, you are awesome! Thank you for the kindness you spread to the world. 🤙
