A fantastic diving instructor with an incredible wealth of experience.
To my advantage, they made sure I had a German-speaking diving instructor for my Open Water Diver course. Excellent! All questions were answered thoroughly and professionally. I felt safe at all times.
You also get tips and tricks on all aspects of recreational diving. The Orca Dive Center is well-equipped and seems organized. I can definitely recommend it.
