"A super friendly dive guide who gave me and my two boys (11 and 12) excellent instructions and, above all, exuded a great sense of security. Everything else was perfectly organized. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite what we had hoped for, but of course, the dive center can't be blamed for that! 😉 In any case, we're currently discussing whether we should book a second dive. We can wholeheartedly recommend Shark Diving Center. Thanks again for the fantastic experience, Jan-Eric"

"A fantastic diving instructor with an incredible wealth of experience. To my advantage, they made sure I had a German-speaking diving instructor for my Open Water Diver course. Excellent! All questions were answered thoroughly and professionally. I felt safe at all times. You also get tips and tricks on all aspects of recreational diving. The Orca Dive Center is well-equipped and seems organized. I can definitely recommend it."
