A great beginner's experience to scuba diving - This was a great beginner's experience to scuba diving. The water was crystal clear and there was loads of sea life (including a barracuda and sea urchins - as well as loads of fish species). Holly made the whole experience feel safe and fun.

Highly recommend - So much fun, our guide was brilliant. I don’t think we were able to get as far out as maybe planned but think that’s cause I was struggling to get to grips with the regulator. Bit cold but that’s what you’d expect this time of year. They give you all the gear to keep you warm as possible. Great experience
