Mr Mike was very helpful with the instructions. He was very straight forward and very understanding with the problems being faced by us.
The marine life was exquisite. The pufferfish and lionfish were an amazement to me. Wish the dives were longer. |

Struggled at first, but was confident by the end.

The course is very good for first time divers like me, though I think the 2-4 day course would have done it more justice. Dive instructor was very good and helped us get attuned to the enviroment quickly and was there to help whenever we needed him.
Beautiful dive sites!! And the most colourful fishes ... all in all, loved the pristine clear waters. If time is a constraint, this one day course is ideal. |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Both ladies struggled a little at first, but by the end of the day they cracked it. Well done ladies!

I had a great experience, it's a whole new world underwater. The Iinstructor was very co-operative and friendly. I was a bit nervous in the beginning but our helpful instructor allowed me to overcome my fear of diving.
The dive site was very nice. I saw small fish, some other big fish that I don't know the names of, and lots of corals. I had a fascinating day with Dive The World. |
|
| Instructor comments: |
Took a little while to get the skills completed but once done, Shireen really enjoyed the dive.

No complaints whatsoever. Dan did an awesome job, only problem was that pesky breathing underwater part.
Dive sites were great, more marine life than I knew what to do with. |

Another easy day in the office, picked diving up nice and quickly despite initial fears.
