“The trip is pretty much made for people who can‘t even swim or move around alone in the water. If you are comfortable in the water - even with no scuba experience I would choose a different company. It took around 1,5h from the first introduction to actually diving in the ocean. In total I think we dove for maybe 20min. Although it was not really diving. We pretty much got dragged around in the water in a pair of two and then got placed infront of a clownfish. I also did scuba diving with a different company were I could swim around on my own, with the guide next…”
