Amazing experience. And...

Amazing experience. And the team is great, highly professional, making you feel safe the whole time.

Incredible fun! Once in a lifetime experience

This was incredible. My wife and I did this for our honeymoon. Jeff and his wife Sophia dove with us down to the shipwreck. Their focus on safety and patience in letting is practice before diving made us feel very safe and comfortable. It is right off the beach, so you don't need to drop in from a boat. Its 9m down. Super fun. We saw and touched a wild octopus, saw lots of fish, tool photos by the wreck. It was truly incredible and unforgettable. Book as early as you can!

Must Do Experience with Friendly Staff

Excellent experience. Really friendly staff. I'm no expert in diving equipment but all the kit appeared to be modern and excellent condition. With this being my first time dive they assisted as required and ensured I was ok throughout. Would highly recommend Scubazores. Due to the weather conditions we dived in the harbour next to the dive shop. Quite area with no boats and very little current. Was still able to see different marine life.

Thank you! We hope to see you soon. Best regards Team Scubazores

Nice experience as a first dive

I was alone and on my first diving experience, the guide gave a proper briefing, I got to see the wreck and the fauna that lived there.
