Great tour but the organizer is a scammer.
A great experience.
Pickup was great, guides are nice and suitable for beginners. The food was also delicious.
For me, however, 1 star because we booked two 40-minute dives, but on the ship we were then told two 20-minute dives.
Upon inquiry, they called the organizer and the description was adjusted to two 15-minute dives. While we were on the boat.
You book a more expensive tour specifically to go diving for longer and just get ripped off.
I am also attaching the screenshots.
Otherwise a great tour.

Could be improved
Not organised very well. We got to dive twice for a fair amount of time. We felt safe throughout as you go one on one with the divers they check your air and everything beforehand to reassure you. However they made us wait around for ages at the platform they were so disorganised throughout at one point no one knew what is even happening whos meant to go next or what is even going on. Our group on that day was fairly small as they even mentioned so you would have thought everything will go smooth- wrong. I don't even wanna know how disorganised everything is with the big group.
Overall- safety was great but organising could be improved.

Excellent day out. Would recommend.
This was a great day out. Yes there were about 30 people in the group and the safety briefing was brief, however when in the water we felt very safe. The divers took us down on a 1:1 basis, checked we could equalise and happy under the water before going off to explore with the diver.
Both dives were about 15-20 minutes (so not 40 mins each dive) but this was enough to see lots of fish and the underwater sculptures.
There were professional photos and videos to look at and purchase if you wanted to. No hard sell at all, just happy to show you the pictures and if you want to buy them for €50 then they would download them onto your phone. If you don’t want them then that’s ok.
The lunch was good, well organised and nice. Pasta, salad and chicken.
Drinks you would need to purchase. We took our own and snacks.

Scuba diving
Visiting the underwater museum, by scuba, it was totally fantastic. Staff on board could not be more attentive and supportive. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
