We had a brilliant time. We were informed before we went in the water in an excellent fashion and we would recommend this diving school to anyone who wants to have a truly excellent first dive. The instructors are that good, that when I tried to swim away from them they still managed to catch me.

I have just had an amazing time! I panicked and didn't want to get in! but the instructor was wonderful - so calm and just helped me under and away we went. About 4 times I went into 'panic' mode and forgot to breathe, got water in my mask and generally went round in circles! But each time he was brilliant!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience 'I will be back!' Sam & Tash PS my daughter really enjoyed it too!
