The staff was quite nice but honestly for what you pay it’s not worth the money. The description is misleading, as we spent no longer than 20-25 minutes under water. You don’t see anything that you couldn’t see just swimming at the same beach, as you don’t go any deeper or further out than you could swimming regularly. As for training you don’t learn anything that you couldn’t in a 10 minute google search on scuba basics, so I wouldn’t even say it’s a good first step for people looking to get into scuba diving. The most you will get out of this is pictures to say you’ve gone scuba diving, which will cost you an additional €20 per person.
Check to see how many others are going it can get busy. There was only 6 in our group and 2 of us didn't dive just stayed bobbing about on the top.
Great guides, and they work hard to give you a good experience. Very cool for a first time experience!

Thank you very much for your nice review!!
Nice to meet you! 😊
A great first time doing scuba! Felt very safe with the instructors and the whole family had a good time.
Wonderful experience! It was my first time ever scuba diving and they made the entire experience easy!!
Really nice group of people. Polite friendly and not intrusive. Really good atmosphere created by them.
My best experience ever!!
The guide was calm and friendly. It was a wonderful experience as a beginner.
Great group! We had kids as young as 8 and they took very good care of all of us. Very nice experience.
Brilliant day out scuba diving! Brought for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was well worth it. We both had 0 experience with scuba diving, the staff were really friendly and helpful which made the day very smooth. The views under the sea were brilliant. Would definitely do again.
The experience as a whole. To understand how the air system works and ofcourse the view of the underwater world. A lot better then snorkeling.
Great experience. The guides were wonderful and this experience would be perfect for those who love pictures for social media. The dive is stopped multiple times just to take pictures, and you get to see/buy them at the end.
The beginning was good. But when I entered the third section of the journey, the respirator suddenly entered the water. I couldn't breathe, I felt suffocated in an instant, and I didn't know what to do. After making a gesture, the coach brought me up and I decided to end the activity early. Anyway, for me, this dive was exciting and thrilling.
Absolutely awesome time. I have never scuba dived before, and Aqua Dive was the perfect introduction to life under the water. They teach you everything you need to know and make sure you are comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend
Being an experienced scuba diver I wanted to take my inexperienced Nephew for his first Scuba experience. The team at AquaDive were very professional and knowledgable and made it a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend this as a starter experience.
