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…”

Great experience and worth of money as you got a video at the end. For me personally lesson seemed short but that’s because my mask all the time was filling with a water or became foggy. Would recommend Nautilus diving centre.”
