I did my Open Water certification here. Highly highly recommend. They were really patient, passionate and fun! The vibe is very personal and family like. It was a bit scary in the beginning but they made you feel comfortable and confident. I wish I had more time to do the advanced as well. But maybe next time. So if you are thinking of doing diving, just trust them to give you the best time!
