Amazing value for the experience!

Cannot recommend this enough - for the money it's the best introduction to scuba we could've had. You won't get a cert from it, but it will provide you with everything you need, there's no hidden costs when you arrive and the staff are both professional and passionate. Would love to go further and complete the open water cert next! Thanks for an amazing experience all :-)
