"I would like to recommend this diving center for proffession. My instructor was very nice, gentle and proffetional. It was very nice to dive in this area. A lot of fun and exciting. If you ask about price it depends ... because in Spain you can dive for 50€, 60€ or 70€. Here there is 100 €. A little bit too much. But holistic is very good experience. Best regards."
