The people were super nice and helped with all the gear. In the boat a good explanation of the dive we were going to do. The instructor showed all the fish and we also saw turtles. Very good guide, I would recommend diving here.

Good dives, helpful guides, lots of puffers!

Tyler_K, Jan 2025
Good diving trip! The seas were a bit rough, so keep that in mind during the windy season, but the dives were great, regardless! The ship wreck was super unique with literally hundreds of puffer fish in schools!

So good!

Really enjoyed the dive. Was able to see quite a lot of different types of fish and the master diver was really helpful, as I hadn't been diving in a very long time.
