Awesome scuba experience! - An amazing first dive experience for our family. Lee was great, very positive, passionate about diving and made us feel comfortable and safe. The training pre-dive was superb, Lee was very patient in explaining communication signs and functions of the equipment. During the dive you only progressed deeper once you were happy to do so, it's a whole different World down there! Would be more than happy to recommend and will definitely love to come back at some point in the future. A great birthday present for our son.

A great beginner's experience to scuba diving - This was a great beginner's experience to scuba diving. The water was crystal clear and there was loads of sea life (including a barracuda and sea urchins - as well as loads of fish species). Holly made the whole experience feel safe and fun.

Highly recommend - So much fun, our guide was brilliant. I don’t think we were able to get as far out as maybe planned but think that’s cause I was struggling to get to grips with the regulator. Bit cold but that’s what you’d expect this time of year. They give you all the gear to keep you warm as possible. Great experience

Nice diving experience! - Very pleasant staff and great diving instructors! We felt very comfortable during diving and before in contact. The price-performance ratio is not so good as the equipment was old and partially damaged. In addition, the school is slightly above the usual prices in Malta.

Full money taken - nothing received in return. - You are encouraged only to dive if well enough. However on the morning of my afternoon dive I was not well. Informed the company, they said they’re booked this week and cannot rebook me. (Availability showed on the website and I’m here for two weeks). They refused to rebook or help in anyway. Just took my money and told me to rebook through the website. Money is more important to these people than safety. They’ve kept full payment and I have nothing to show for it. Diving with another company here in malta instead and they’re great! Avoid these unhelpful money grabbers. I understand there is a “cancellation policy” and you might lose a deposit, I just wanted to reschedule. Lost full payment. They couldn’t be less helpful.
