"The diving tutor my 16 year old daughter had, was fantastic! My daughter tells she was a bit annoyed with him as he wouldn't let her drift away from him at all, but as a parent, it feels a lot more safe to me! He took her to the max permissible depth of 18m for under 18's, and also did the favour of recording some good dive videos on my go pro, special thanks to him for that. Overall all the staff was very welcoming kind, and good to talk to. Very good experience, definitely recommended."
