Great one-on-one experience - This is the second time I did a Non-Certified dive and the first for my 17 year old son. These guys were amazing! Their attention to detail and training made all the difference.

Amazing Experience. MUST TRY - It was one of the amazing experience. Everything was perfect. The pick-up was on Time. Great Program for a non diver. They will give you a training before you dive in. Everyone was super sweet. I had an awesome instructor, Giovanni. He was very thorough. He went through all the details and trained me accordingly. I even had a practice session in a shallow water. I was nervous and had a panic attack, but he was always right there by my side. He took extra care. I am extremely grateful for him being very patient and taking care of me even under water. He checks on you regularly on how you are doing. Can't ask for more. Giovanni, you were AMAZING. Thank you for taking an extra care of me as a first-time diver. Thank you for being patient and attentive. I will highly recommend this program. You get to explore a whole new world.

Excellent experience! - It was an incredible experience! We met Izhar, who took the time to explain and teach us everything in great detail. In addition, the diving was very entertaining, it was like feeling like you were in “Finding Nemo”. The only thing I would suggest is that they offer some photos (even with separate payment) during the experience.

Very genuine and enjoyable! - The tour guides were so great! So genuine and personable. We had a great time. Me and my boyfriend were quite anxious about scuba diving, but they were very understanding and made us feel comfortable. They picked us up at our Airbnb. It was a great day!

Beauty with patience! - Be mindful, sometimes the challenge is not with the vendor, but the customers they serve! I would have rated a 5 if I had the opportunity to choose who was in my group. I prefer the group that went snorkeling who was park of my pickup. Unfortunately, Bruno was challenged to instruct a discover dive of a group speaking English or Portuguese. The training that should have taken Approximately 25-30 minutes took almost 1.5 hours bcuz of others comprehension (not Bruno or myself). I was too exhausted from waiting to enjoy the dive to the ship afterwards. Bruno was very apologetic and committed getting me to the ship which he did, but he had to pull me back into shore (I tapped out 😥). Angela was also great with clear communications leading up to the tour and drop off. Overall, Bruno, Angela and the Nautilus team were great. The water and location were beautiful. Just know when you first enter the water the shore floor is Rocky and currents can be brutal. God bless Bruno for patience and immaculate customer service!
