Very frindly & uncomplicated! My son felt very good while the course and in good hands. Special thanks to Felipe , he did a great job and now my son is proud to be an official Open Water Diver!

But no experience as a diver I did the discovery dive. Lucas was informative, professional, friendly, and just fun to dive with. Very knowledgeable and conveyed that knowledge well.

Felipe był bardzo profesjonalny i dokładny. Upewnił się, że wiemy, co robimy, zanim przeszliśmy dalej. Całe zajęcia były przyjemne i pozytywne.
