Amazing ! - Excellent time spent with Andrea! It was our first dive, he provided very clear explanations and accompanied us from start to finish. Magical moment underwater with Andrea's constant supervision. He is a passionate, human and attentive instructor. I recommend 100%!!

Emotion - You can't describe what it feels like to breathe underwater. Andrea and Guerriero are fantastic and make it all with a unique simplicity. If you go to Catania, look for them who will make you live a unique emotion

Great - Was the only one to go diving that day, so I had a personal tour. Due to my prior diving experience, we went a bit deeper than the tour guide originally planned (as they thought I was a beginner). Quickly got into the suit for deeper diving and enjoyed the tour. My girlfriend went snorkelling and it was a good experience to combine like this if you have timeslots on the same day/time.

Cancellation fest - Disappointing. Trip was cancelled 3,5 hours before the start due to “bad weather conditions”. It was 20 Celsius, with no wind nor rain. It was warm and sea was calm. We have spend 2,5 hours via bus from Palermo and later another train 1 hour on public transport just to see that nobody is waiting for us at the meeting point. The staff didn’t event bother to make sure we got the information, we just got info by email. They didn’t even apologise for the situation.
