“We had a fantastic experience with this company! The guide picked us up right on time, and from the beginning, we felt safe and well taken care of. The instructions were clear and professional, and we practiced in shallow water before starting the actual dive. Each group had a personal guide, we were just two people and had our own, who was very friendly and helpful. We saw underwater statues, fed the fish, and had amazing photos taken. The dive was around 6 meters deep and very enjoyable. Afterward, we viewed the photos, paid €22, and received them immediately by email. Everything was smooth and well organized. Wish we had…”

Guides including Sultan, Mustafa, Hossum, Osama, and Mimo are praised for patient support, though site timing and gear quality can vary.

“Absolutely amazing boat trip, we were a family of 5. So many involved in making sure all in the group got diving from the boat. The patience shown to me (a non swimmer) to ensure I dived was second to none. My 16 year old boys loved it and my 12 year old daughter did something she didn't think she could. The highlight of our holiday. Needs a generous tip.”

“Really nice director – he was very skilled and patient. He assured several times that everything was as it should be, which was very reassuring as a first-time diver. The food was by no means something to shout hurra for. As expected – however, you only got a small chicken jaw, on which there was almost no meat. Bread, but no butter, and then there was some sort of salad and rice. It tasted good. Sailing can't really be called that. We were so many on the boat that if everyone was to dive, we would lie still in the same place for 2-3 hours. There was so much sailing,…”
