What an adventure - Shane was extremely knowledgeable and patient! We got to see beautiful coral and tons of fish. I was very nervous but Shane kept me calm and me and my husband ended up with private dive experience. Hands down best place for your first dive! We would recommend to every first timers. It was our 20th anniversary and wouldn’t change anything! Shane has tons of experience around the world wouldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Amazing Experience - The whole experience was great. Our dive leader who I believe was named Simon was amazing and embodied pretty much everything id think a surfer would be: laid back, encouraging, fun, and patient. We saw some manta rays and tons of fish and coral. He made it easy for my brother, step dad, and myself to dive for the first time and my mom hadn't dove in 40 years. Definitely a 10/10 experience and would definitely do it again. Plus, Simon has a pretty cool YouTube channel that he uses to capture relaxing videos that you can put on in the background.

Great guide! Awesome experience! - We were first time divers and were super nervous. Simon was simply awesome. Demonstrated everything so patiently and kept tabs on us all along. He is absolutely the person to go with for beginner lessons.

Best scuba diving experience - This was an amazing experience! My wife was very scared about going under the ocean, but Shane was super nice and made this experience very enjoyable for the both of us! Highly recommend it! We also saw so many fish, a sea turtle, eagle ray, and we got to hear the whales sounds 👌
