PADI Discover Scuba Diving in Marsalforn in Gozo

Marija
"If you want to learn proper diving even as beginner (as I did it in Discover Scuba Diving Course in October 2024), you should choose Atlantis! The instructor was very thorough with theory and took all the time needed in the water for my insecurities. I did a Discover Scuba Diving Course prior to this one, and I wasn’t explained how to manage my breathing at all, not even a mention of it. At Atlantis is this a must know! I was taught how to breathe to achieve the depth or go shallower, which therefore changed my diving experience completely and for that I am thankful! "
