Honestly, I was NERVOUS going in for my first dive ever but the team just made it soooo easy. Our instructor (I forgot his name, oops) was super chill and explained everything twice when I kept asking. Water was a little choppy but nothing too wild. Saw a GIANT blue fish and like, a zillion tiny ones. Felt super safe the whole time. If you’re on the fence, just do it! Just bring snacks if ur picky tho, food on board was just ok.

Was my first time scuba diving and wow, it was INCREDIBLE. The guide, Mahmoud, totally put me at ease, and he even pointed out this cute little clownfish hiding in a coral. I went solo but ended up chatting with a group from Germany on the boat, everyone was super friendly. Little tip: sunscreen BEFORE you get on the boat, not after, or it just gets everywhere, lol. Would 100% recommend for newbies.

Did this with my wife and we both had a pretty good time. The crew were friendly but there was a bit of a wait before the first dive, maybe 40 min? Water was clear, not too crowded. My wife got a bit seasick, so take Dramamine if you need it. The instructor, Ahmed, was patient with us and gave us lots of tips. Would go again, but maybe bring my own fins next time, the rental ones felt weird.

I LOVED IT. Never been diving before but always wanted to. Crew was super friendly and helpful. Instructions were clear and they even repeated stuff when I looked confused. Saw coral that looked like brains and some bright purple thing I still can’t name. Boat wasn’t too crowded, which was nice. Wish I could’ve taken pics underwater but my camera died. Next time, waterproof case for sure.

Booked for a family of four, 2 adults, 2 teens (13 & 15). Staff were v attentive, especially with my youngest who was kinda freaked out at first. The wait between dives was a bit long, maybe bc of the mixed group? Saw loads of fish and a massive eel. Food was meh but honestly you don’t come for the food. Bring a towel, they ran out on our boat!
