    "This was our second dive. The previous one, which took place elsewhere, had been a bit too traumatic due to a lack of proper instructions. We decided to give it another try, and it went much better! The instructors were very clear in their explanations, and the training progressed gradually—just as it should. I’m very happy that after this positive experience, my partner is finally convinced to get a scuba diving license!"Paola+, August 13, 2025

In the meantime a rope had to be replaced, personally we didn't mind, the water was not super warm so you could warm up on the boat for a while.
