My husband and 18 year old son did the scuba diving experience for beginners in July. I snorkelled. Communication with the operator prior to the trip was prompt and very helpful. Hotel pick up and drop off was smooth. The instructors explained everything well and safety was clearly important. They were very patient and took the time to reassure. The diving was great fun, lots of fish seen. Would highly recommend!
Great diving experience. Our family of 4 ( 2 adults, 2 teenagers) took the beginners shore dive out of puerto morgan. We were collected from our hotel and ultimately delivered back, so very easy transportation. Communication was great by WhatsApp. The dive itself was well organised, with plenty of instructors. We spent loads of time diving with the local fishes , going to a depth of (approximately) 6 m. We all had a great time and will be returning next year x
It has been a wonderful experience. Mike was super attentive to everyone and was a delight. I had a divine time and I recommend it to anyone who wants to do it.
I cannot explain how eye opening that was. Wow. I got scared at first but the instructor helped me all the way and it was my favourite experience of the whole trip.
What a fantastic and smooth experience. Picked up from the hotel. Offered a additional dive same day at a reduced rate and was able to capture the whole experience for both dives for €20 with a go pro. My son, 12, has been desperate to try scuba diving. Tutorial was easy, instructors very knowledgeable and attentative. The whole experience was great fun and fabulous value for money for both time in the water as a taster session and professionism. First time booking an activity using tripadvisor too, literally 3x more for the same experience with the local touts. This was also very smooth and communication post booking was soon followed by both email and phone (whatsapp). Honestly anyone wanted to give Suba diving a try, these were the guys to use....
Mike has guided us very well, I would recommend it to anyone who loves experiences. At first it can be exciting, but you get used to it very quickly. You are well supervised and Mike and his team reassure you. Fun experience to do! Definitely recommended
Unforgettable! The instructor, Mike, helped me when I got overwhelmed and I felt supported at all times! We saw a variety of fish, starfish, an octopus... super good!
We had a great beginner diving course and can recommend it without reservation! Our guide took a lot of time and first explained everything to us clearly and in detail on land. Afterward, we were also accompanied step by step in the water, so we felt safe at all times. It was particularly positive that all participants were constantly looked after and we were regularly asked if everything was okay. This allowed us to enjoy the dive in a completely relaxed way. The dive spot itself was also beautiful – we saw many different species of fish and an impressive underwater world with numerous plants. Overall, an unforgettable experience with a professional and friendly team. Thank you very much – we would dive here again anytime!
Very good experience- the sea was much nicer than expected. The instructor was good and it was nice being picked up and driven to the hotel again afterwards.
It was great, the children loved this first diving experience. Marion was an exceptional teacher. She knows how to put novices at ease and takes all the time needed to guide them in this silent world. Thank you very much to her. Nhan, Zoé, Hugo and Laëtitia
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis! Quel plaisir de savoir que les enfants ont adoré leur baptême de plongée à Gran Canaria. Au plaisir de vous revoir sous l'eau lors de votre prochain séjour! Mike & Holly @ Puerto Rico Diving Gran Canaria
