“10/10 Best experience of my life ! The 2 coordinators were so patient and informative. Horrendously scary at the beginning when singing the form and trying to breathe under water initially. I promise it’s worth the fear. Truly phenomenal.”

It was truly unforgettable!”

“Overall good experience, my daughter (11) was very happy. I was not so much impressed, as I would like to go deeper and see more :) We were not lucky to see the turtle, but there where a lot of nice fish (3-4 kinds), the diving was done in shallow waters near the coast. Instruction was very clear, professional and entertaining, we had the best care and Claire explained everything in details in very friendly and encouraging manner. Don't be misleaded by some photos in description - this diving experience do NOT include seeing underwater sculptures :( And no tea / coffee afterwards. But that was not essential. :)”

“Tara was thorough in explaining the gear, how it all works, and exactly what to expect in the water. She made us feel very safe and was extremely patient with my friend who was having a little trouble during the practice part in the shallows. This was my second SCUBA experience, and Tara made me feel confident enough to pursue the Open Water certification. On top of all that, she was very nice and friendly plus knowledgeable about the dive sites in the area.”

“Maria was very patient with us , as we are beginners and I went with my 10 years old daughter. Was worried about her, and didn’t expect she would do so well. Great experience and worth of money as you got a video at the end. For me personally lesson seemed short but that’s because my mask all the time was filling with a water or became foggy. Would recommend Nautilus diving centre.”

“Not sure where to start, my husband waited to be picked up, I phoned them up, told it was 9am. He had been waiting since 8am. The driver didn’t speak. I asked if he wanted to see the confirmation he just shook his head. My husband got in the van. Apparently he never spoke to him all the way to the office and when there pointed to a QR code no reason why. He didn’t have his phone so the man disappeared came back with paperwork by this time my husband was feeling uneasy in the situation considering they would be diving he didn’t feel comfortable doing it with this…”
