The instructors are very helpfull and friendly. We had 2 great dives at different locations. The first one was ideal to start, the second one we could dive a bit deeper and could look around more because we felt more comfortable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed both dives and felt comfortable as the experience progressed. It’s great to know our friendly and helpful instructors made your diving adventure even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable diving experience in the future!
There were two guided dives, and in between there was food and time for swimming and snorkeling. During the first dive, only pictures and videos were taken, which could be purchased later. During the second dive, there was no photographer present and it went deeper. Four apprentices dove with two divers per run. Accordingly, there was a lot of downtime and time for snorkeling if you have your own equipment with you (recommendation!) There are none on the boat. You should also bring your own drinks, it saves money 😉. All in all, it was a successful day. You were not forced to do anything. Neither to buy pictures nor to dive.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie einen gelungenen Tauchtag hatten. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem weiteren Unterwasserabenteuer begrüßen zu dürfen!
Great experience with Summer Tours!! A clear recommendation from here if you want to experience anything other than the hotel pool. Skillful instructors with plenty of time for each individual. My 11-year-old daughter received a super safe treatment. A fine lunch is served and the transfer to the hotel is well arranged.
Tusind tak for din fantastiske anmeldelse! 🌟 Det glæder os virkelig at høre, at både du og din 11-årige datter havde en tryg og mindeværdig oplevelse med os. Vores instruktører gør altid deres bedste for at give hver gæst den tid og opmærksomhed, de fortjener, så det betyder meget at høre, at I følte jer godt taget hånd om. Vi er også glade for, at I var tilfredse med frokosten og transferen. Tak fordi I valgte Sommer Tours – vi håber at byde jer velkommen tilbage til endnu et eventyr på jeres næste ferie!
Amazing experience! Punctual pick up from hotel in air conditioned bus. Nice boat and friendly instructors. Videos and photos taken underwater during first 20-minute dive followed by a delicious lunch time meal on boat of rice, fresh salad, meat, and bread included in package. Second dive of about 20 minutes after lunch. Cold drinks available on boat for extra charge. Transferred back to hotel as soon as we got back to land. Incredibly well run and would definitely do again!

Although I was too afraid and couldn't make myself breath underwater the first time, I am giving it another go before I go home. I had a wonderful instructor who was brilliant with me. I have booked it again for 2 days time and will definitely be under the water this time.
