Excellent tour. I would go again.

Ken_M, May 2024

This was an amazing tour. Our group had 7 tourists on the boat. Five went on a snorkel tour. I and my companion went on the "beginner's scuba adventure." Our guide, Aamir (I probably have the spelling wrong), was fantastic. He was easy to understand, attentive, kind, patient, and was in no way pushy or tried to hurry us along or acted like we were a burden. If I took an Intermediate Scuba Class, I would want him as my instructor. The tour crew were very prompt to start (so don't be late). We boated out to a permitting point, checked in, then headed out to the scuba practice area. The first dive spot was only 2 or 3 meters deep-- mostly meant to practice basic scuba skills. After lunch on a small resort island, we went to a second scuba dive spot where we could dive to 9-10 meters. The first spot was a dead, abandoned coral reef. (Pretty depressing.) The second spot had areas of living circles reef with the corresponding fish. We even saw a sea turtle resting on the ocean floor. I unconditionally recommend this tour for someone wanting to try out scuba diving.

Lovely experience! Recommended.
