It was a really fun experience. Richard took us to places where he knew we'd see lots of different species. Before we set out, he explained what we would see, and then as we swam, he told us about it.

I don't recommend it.
The team is very friendly, but this activity can be done on your own. You don't discover any hidden gems. We received no explanation, the equipment is just a basic mask, snorkel, and fins, and you leave from Tabarca's main beach, so there's no point in going with an instructor.
