Brilliant experience! - Brilliant day out scuba diving! Brought for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was well worth it. We both had 0 experience with scuba diving, the staff were really friendly and helpful which made the day very smooth. The views under the sea were brilliant. Would definitely do again.

Disappointment!! - Doesn't match the description. Much less time than described! No certificate, even though that is promised. Only actually spent 1 hour in total. Was very disappointing and certainly not worth the money!! I certainly won't recommend him

False advertising, to flee. - A little skeptical seeing the only negative comment about this activity, but she was telling the truth: First catastrophic diving experience. We really felt ripped off because on the 3 hours of activities planned, the staff wastes a lot of time doing the papers, preparing the equipment, taking us to the "diving" place, which is actually the beachfront. It is impossible to swim freely since we are continually "pulled" by the monitors. Almost nothing to see underwater, when you look up you can still see the feet of the other swimmers coming from the beach. - On the 3h, it is actually 30min of "dive" compared to the dive time planned and posted on the offer. No diplomas given at the end of the session and you are charged mediocre photos at an exorbitant price of €20 per person or €65 for group photos only. On all possible beaches, we take you to the one with cloudy water and very little marine life nearby. The only interaction with marine species is to hold a sea urchin in your hand. In addition to being the only one we've seen in these strange waters, we're being asked not to move while he searches for him. Wouldn't the sea urchin be one you deliberately placed there? -You can try to swim as much as you want, you will not succeed since you are OVERBALLASTED and held, thus forcing you to always stay close to the big rocks, so it is impossible for you to swim without hitting your feet or knees against these rocks. I gave up the idea of swimming and decided to get out of the rocks to move faster, but very quickly caught by the instructor. - Also, among our friends, one of them could not dive because of the quality of the equipment (Water entering through the dive regulator), thus preventing him from enjoying this experience. The staff did not even try to reimburse him but offered him HIS free photos, that is, of him on the surface of the water looking at us (Huge joke coming from a company that wants to be professional). - The videos are filmed with a GoPRO, but when we don't know how to use his equipment we try maybe to review his prices on the sale of his photos / videos? A little advice as Video Operator, to change the shutter speed to 1/50 to 25fps is more than enough and not to put it on Automatic? This will save you from having underwater images that "lag". And if your image is too clear, consider investing in an ND filter. IF I HAD TO GIVE YOU AN ADVICE: Don't go, I don't think we can do any worse honestly. - Prize for Abused Experience
