“Ha sido genial. El personal del barco muy atento, siempre pendiente de ayudarte. El dive máster ha explicado el briefing para que todos los entendiéramos a la perfección y la experiencia bajo el agua ha sido brutal, con distintos puntos de buceo preciosos, sin casi gente y totalmente adaptado a cada buceador.”
