“The whole experience was amazing. From the carefelly laid instructions, through the ride on the boat, seeing the coral reefs with colorful fishes, to spending the time at beautiful beach with calm sea. I 100% recommend this, diving with fish is unforgettable memory. We were nonstop looked after by instructors, who constantly checked on everyone, if we are feeling okay.
