Traveller reviews
There was some waiting on the boat between dives, so bring patience and maybe a snack. The diving team themselves were professional and kind, especially with people who were nervous. Visibility was good enough to see fish and rock formations. I gave four stars because the lunch was simple, but the diving felt safe.
The first dive was mostly about getting comfortable. The second dive felt much more natural.
We saw small fish and rock formations, not a huge reef, but it was a great first dive.
Waiting on the boat between dives was a little long, but the crew were friendly.
I was surprised by how calm I felt once we were underwater... The briefing covered hand signals, breathing, and what to do if you felt uncomfortable, which helped a lot. My partner panicked slightly at the start and the instructor handled it gently. We bought the photos afterward because they were actually worth having.
I was surprised how calm I felt underwater. The instructor stayed right beside me.
