Our dive instructor explained and demonstrated everything perfectly. We first went through the theory, then went to the pool to get used to the equipment. We did exercises in the pool and could repeat everything as often as we needed until we felt confident. Afterwards, we went to the sea and were accompanied by two dive instructors. One dived ahead and the other behind to keep an eye on everything. It was just the two of us on this course, without any other participants. It was an incredible experience. We felt well-prepared and were able to fully enjoy the dive in the sea! Highly recommended and fantastic people! Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!
