Experience to live - Original excursion in this semi-submarine to explore the seabed. We were able to observe different fish and corals with sunlight that gave an incredible atmosphere

A company at the top - An exceptional visit under the sea!! We had a great time with an experienced and humorous captain. The whole team is listening and it is very simple to book a ride. We recommend this walk (like the whole company) to visit these breathtaking landscapes and seabed!! See you soon 😉

Nice. - Original exit, we see DE common fish (the same as you will see if you snorkel) but difficult to see more "rare" specimens. Nice swimming trip before the end of the course.

Original and pleasant semi-submarine tour - The activity is consistent with its description. The captain, is friendly and competent the exit was commented throughout the visit. Made with two children 6 and 4 years old, absolutely delighted. The duration of about 45 minutes is suitable for children. Very pleasant and original activity, even if the seabed is not very rich on this side of the bay, we have seen the species that populate it. A suggestion, why not make a visit also at night?

semi-submarine - Since the usual fish and sea urchins, 0 octopus, 0 rays, 1 starfish, 0 moray, in short the concept is nice but do not expect anything other than a small sea walk underwater, the price being still very acceptable and the city of Porto beautiful. It's better to take the boat, we see more things. A nice day, though. Very friendly welcome.

Semi-submarine tour - A little disappointed because we were told at the time of booking that we could swim in the open sea but it was not offered to us at all and not much to see except a few small fish and plastic floating....We made 4h drive back and forth for finally not much.

Too bad. - Frankly, nothing to do with it. Fish seen are also seen from the surface. Captain not very cheerful. More seasick when I've always been boating. Dear for what it is.

Buyer beware. Check location. 2 hours from cruise ship port. - If you are coming in on a cruise ship be warned that this activity is 2 hour drive from the cruise ship port. Operator is unresponsive to chat or phone call.

Dissatisfaction - We went there in August. C a tourist catch, we see absolutely nothing, I would even say a scandal to charge us to show us this. G goes out a lot in Corsica, I was always satisfied. G much hesitated before booking, given the reviews and I should have listened to them for once. But I like to make up my own mind, but this is stealing, and they're taking us to port golf. Close to the rocks. We only see wrecks of cars trailers and small boats. The fish are the same as those seen in snorkeling and the bottom is all grey. I wonder if we are not taken there to see the disaster of the sea foons and not to see its beauty. The skyper not very nice and goes a little too fast to go to the spot, on 9 people, 3 sick, yet we never are. Explanatory notes are non-existent. Really to flee
