Such a great experience - Malin was awesome! Very knowledgeable and understanding of my uneasiness of water (to say the least). Quickly overcame that and me and my wife had an incredible dive. We will 100% be doing this with him again. Highlight of our trip for sure!

First time doing it and would do it again! - We were nervous at first and my mom is a little older so she was more nervous. I try to tell her it would be fine, which I was also nervous but didn’t show it. The instructor was professional and knowledgeable, always asking if we were okay and really taking his time explaining things to us and checking on us.

Unforgettable First-Time Dive - One single word to describe my scuba diving experience: Perfection! It was my very first time diving, and it couldn’t have been better. Communication with Malin was excellent—always clear and patient. We received a detailed explanation about the equipment, safety, and underwater signals. Before diving, we practiced everything at the shore until all three students did it perfectly; that’s when the real adventure began. Once underwater, I applied everything I had learned: clearing the mask, ear equalization… everything went smoothly. The experience was simply unforgettable, and the photos and videos taken by Malin are truly epic! 100% recommended!

First time diving - Even though it’s a vacation, go early so you can find the dive instructor on time otherwise he’ll be angry & not make your experience as fun!
