“Vi skulle vente en time på, at vores båd ankom til havnen. Vi fik kun 2 ud af de 3 dyk som vi har betalt for grundet dårlige vejrforhold. Men var båden ankommet til tiden, havde vi formentligt kunne nå alle vores dyk. Vi er ikke blevet tilbudt nogen form for kompensation for hverken forsinkelse eller det dyk som vi ikke fik med. Instruktørerne er super søde og hjælpsomme - så de to dyk vi endte med at få var gode.”
