A great introduction to the world of scuba diving! - My partner and I came to Cyprus for a chilled holiday as a break from work, but wanted an activity to get us out and about and try something new. The Discover Scuba Diving session with Conrad as our instructor was an amazing experience. His relaxed and knowledgeable approach made us feel completely at ease. He explained everything thoroughly, reinforced safety procedures, hand signal communication, and kept it fun from start to finish. An unexpected highlight was the photos—Conrad captured incredible moments underwater and sent us over 30 pictures within an hour of finishing, which was such a thoughtful bonus. The whole experience was seamless, professional, and an unforgettable part of our holiday. (Reviewed at: 2024-11-15)
