Lisa was our instructor and she was very methodical and reassuring to us newbies. Her basic technique instruction in the pool was perfect. The dive itself was amazing for a first timer and it went by so quickly. Had such a good experience, going to try another dive before leaving.

What an amazing experience!!! Ernie was a great instructor, very patient as I was a first time diver. He instructed us every step of the way, made sure I was comfortable, and kept us close. Shipwreck and marine life was dope! 110% recommend!!!

I booked the introductory diving course via email. The booking experience was pleasant and straightforward and I was looking forward to having a great introduction to diving.
However the experience on the day started poorly and went downhill from there. I was told check in time was 8am so arrived then but nobody turned up at the pier until 9am. The check in went poorly as when they had arrived the person didn’t bring the materials. Finally after having waited around for more than 90 minutes I was eventually told that they didn’t have enough equipment for me to do the activity. I was offered a different time but instead took the refund as the level of professionalism did not give me any confidence I’d get a better experience a second time around.
It was a complete waste of my time and very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend the company to others.

I want to thank Mike the dive master and his crew for a wonderful experience. I am certified but having been diving for 15 years. My 3 other members have never dove. Mike was so calm and helpful for the ones with nerves that it was a very good and pleasant experience for them. I highly recommend this company for beginners interested in diving and becoming certified. Top 10 in my book! I'll go again next time I Have the chance!
