An underwater world
Took my boys aged 12 & 14 to introduce them to diving. After thorough training on land by a skilled instructor, and a review in the water, we ended up with a dive of over 45 minutes with a maximum depth of 9 metres, where safety was ensured at all times. Thank you that the boys can go home with a great experience of a great underwater world.☺️

Thank you for your review. 😊

Introductory scuba diving lesson
We did an introductory scuba diving lesson. Our instructor was super clear, helpful and friendly! This was very nice and reassuring for us, because we have never had a diving experience before. The diving itself was very cool, we went to a depth of 9 m and were underwater for 40 minutes. Very special. The lesson made us enthusiastic to get our diving license!

Nev sends her regards, she said she enjoyed diving with you. Thank you for this nice review!

So fun
Very fun. Great for beginners. Diving guides have a lot of experience and adjust to your level. There were 8 people/3 families that signed up at our time and we were able to get 3 guides and split up. The only problem was on the oat or instructions it say to meet at the Yacht Club restaurant. Don’t meet there meet at their office.
Operator response
Thank you for your review! Missunderstanding about meeting place is due to automatic translation, as we actually have written "underneath Yacht Club".

Fantastic way to spend a few hours! SCUBA fun!
Fantastic instructors. Calm and safe and stayed within everyone's comfort zone. 3 to 1 per instructor which was great. See lots of fish and went down to about 6 metres. Learned the basics of SCUBA and looking forward to trying it again!
Operator response
Thank you for a nice review! We are happy if you enjoyed your first underwater experience.

Highly recommended:-)
It was super fun. Were diving for the first time and everything was explained top. Our tour guide was very nice and patient with us. It was just a pity that Tripadvisor stated German as the language, but everyone only spoke English there, including the tour guide. In our case, though, that was fine. Overall highly recommended, especially at the price :-)

Great beginners course!
Totally recommend it! We were a group of 8 people, all beginners. We were split up in 3 smaller groups, each one with a teacher. First we watched an introductory video, then we got dressed up and went into the water. We went as down as 7 meters, while the teachers, were showing us different fishes, plants, and little tricks under the water. We were under water for around 45 min. Paid 60 euros per person. It was a very nice experience, super worth it! :)
