""My girlfriend did her Open Water course here with Sachi. I'm a former instructor, have worked at several dive centers and dived at more, and I have to say I was impressed by the professionality along with the friendly vibe of this dive center. We felt as if part of a big family and didn't get the hierarchial vibe you see in some dive centers. All the staff were super friendly and and accomodating. Sachi took great care of my girlfriend and I during her course and was always calm and pedagogical. Couldn't recommend this place more. 11/10""

""Got my Open Water Diving license here with Sachi, and I couldn't be happier! He was such a kind and patient instructor, I felt safe and supported throughout the whole course, even though it was my first time diving. As a deaf person, I had some language barriers but Sachi really made an effort to communicate in the best ways possible, which helped me so much and made the experience comfortable and fun. Of course, I saw so many beautiful creatures underwater, even turtles!!! It was magical. I also joined a boat trip with some licensed divers, and everyone was super friendly. The whole ride and diving experience was amazing. Whether you're a beginner or already certified, I highly recommend this place!"""
