Super experience avec Victoria. Plongee en 2 tank en solo avec elle. Tout en étant professionnelle et attentive elle apporte sa bonne humeur et on s’en ravi. Les photos qu’elle prends lors de la plongee et qu’elle transmets sans supplements et un vrai plus! Je ne peux que la conseiller. Un moment tres sympa. Je recommande.

Victoria was amazing. I dropped off my 17yo to scuba all morning. 2 dives and he was the only one not certified. She took great care of him and communicated really well all day. My kid loved it!

Great dives with a great dive crew, Daniel, Victoria, and Carla! I did a refresher course and 4 dives while my husband completed his divers certification. I was able to do all the dives alongside him and they were great dives for his cert!!! They were always timely and great with communication via WhatsApp. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dive. They dive out of the aquafun marina, so plan around that.

Vine con mi pareja, yo tengo el certificado pero mi pareja no tenía. Así que cogimos la instrucción no certificada para ella y nos dejaron ir a los 2 juntos. Daniel un instructor muy pro. Educado, paciente y profesional. Nos ha tratado genial muy recomendable y ademas se conoce bien el arrecife. Tuvimos suerte de ver manta, tortuga, tiburón gato etc. Una experiencia maravillosa

We had such an incredible scuba diving experience! The teaching was patient and very detailed, which made a huge difference—especially since my 12-year-old son and I were both learning. Thanks to the supportive coaching, we were both able to successfully earn our certificates, which felt amazing. Daniel and Victoria were absolutely wonderful—kind, encouraging, and super professional throughout. They made sure we felt safe and confident every step of the way. The dive itself was unforgettable. We saw so many beautiful fish, vibrant corals, and even a turtle! It was such a special experience to share together. Highly recommend this to anyone, especially families. We had so much fun and would definitely do it again!
