Great experience

We booked a 40 minute trial course as we had no diving experience at all. We were welcomed super nice. Everything was explained in peace and in German and we were then dressed. We had enough time to practice and when you have practiced enough in the water, the dive goes 6 to 8 meters down! It is just incredibly beautiful. Lots of colorful fish seen ... Small reefs ... Large crevices ... bigger fish and you could see very far under water. There is always an exchange teacher next to you and you feel safe. Unfortunately no turtles were seen, but the experience was unique even without turtles. We recommend!

Tolles Erlebnis

Wir haben einen 40 minütigen Schnupperkurs gebucht, da wir überhaupt keine Taucherfahrung hatten. Wir wurden super nett empfangen. Alles wurde in Ruhe und auf Deutsch erklärt und wir wurden anschließend eingekleidet. Wir hatten ausreichend Zeit zum üben und wenn man dann genug im Wasser geübt hat, geht's zum Tauchgang 6 bis 8 Meter runter! Es ist einfach unglaublich schön. Viele bunte Fische gesehen…Kleine Riffe...Große Felsspalten....größere Fische und man konnte sehr weit unter Wasser sehen. Immer ist ein Tauschlehrer neben dir und man fühlt sich sicher. Leider keine Schildkröten gesehen, aber das Erlebnis war auch ohne Schildkröten einzigartig. Sehr zu empfehlen!
