Once at the diving centre, you will collect your equipment, get changed, and we will make our way to the dive area.

The staff was extremely nice and understanding to us. Our instructor was also very experienced and flexible depending on our needs. It was an amazing experience, we saw many interesting animals and things under the water. Highly recommend the 2 dives in one day option!
