Awesome experience. - They make you feel comfortable there, so if you don't know swimming don't worry. It's an amazing experience. I would recommend carrying food with you, especially if you are vegetarian.

Brilliant day out - no regrets - The team were brilliant. 3 of us attended, and 2 of us hadn't dived before. They were amazing at helping me calm my nerves and feel safe. Beautiful day out, but very hot .. pack food if you have any dietary requirements. Bring loads of suncream and hats etc.

A comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of scuba diving. - Hey, so I had this amazing experience with Mike and his crew. They're super knowledgeable and skilled. The trip is a full day on the boat at the bay, but it's not a full day of scuba diving. You only get one dive that lasts about 10-15 minutes, but you can buy more dives while you're on the boat. They also have free snorkeling equipment if you're into that. This is perfect for beginners because it gives you the confidence to go diving or get certified in diving, which they also offer on the boat..

Enjoyed it!!!! - The guidance of the employees is fantastic. I was quite nervous myself and also had my son of just 12 with me who also went diving. With asthma, with autism. The employees give instruction so well and clearly. Are visible and invisible above and below water and give a sense of security that made me dare. I got my head clear because me and my son were so well looked after. I could enjoy and relax underwater and see wonderful things. Even made a 2nd longer and deeper dive. Also be able to snorkel between dives. Now get a taste for it and I will even see what else I can do with diving. Waterhoppers, Thanks for this rop experience.

Fabulous first dives - We were a group of 11 including 6 kids of 12 and under who had never dived before. We booked an introductory dive at a fair price and wondered if the kids would take to it. We needn’t have worried. The experienced dive instructors at Waterhoppers were beyond exemplary. I’ve dived around the world and have never seen a better ratio of instructors to divers including a snorkeller on the surface providing top cover - and extra reassurance. Pefkos itself is the perfect location to take first steps. There’s a sheltered cove to explore and easy graduated entry to the water. All our kids had a wonderful time

An excellent diving experience - This was our first time trying scuba and couldn’t have had a better experience. Firstly the crew were spot on, very helpful and friendly which was good when we were a little nervous. The day was all about safety and fun (in that order which was reassuring) and after a very clear briefing on the trip out to the small bay where the diving platform was situated, we were put in groups ready to dive. If you haven’t scuba dived before then this is a must trip. It is must it’s easier than I thought it would be and once you relax into it your time underwater is magical. When you are waiting to dive or after the bay is great for snorkelling and simply swimming. Water hoppers are a fantastic company to go with, great people, great value and we will definitely look to use them again.

Two fantastic days of diving - My partner and I had two brilliant days of dives with Waterhoppers. We loved the first dive so much we decided to come back and complete the PADI Scuba Diver course. A massive thanks to our instructors Cormac & Rene who were both incredible! Throughout all the dives we felt safe and secure with countless instructors and surface divers monitoring the group’s dive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering diving, regardless of experience!

Fun, but make sure u know 👍 - Make sure you realize it is a day trip for only 20 minutes diving, after a quick list of rules etc. With divers Another 25 minutes cost an extra €35, and pictures €20 per group. That said, I was very disappointed so they tried to help and then let us have the second diving as we thought it was part of it, and gave us the pictures at the end. After a lot of emotions.. it was really nice in the end Also nice place to swim :) clear beautiful waters Just make sure to put sunscreen so you don't come back with a burn like me, and a proper body rash lol
