Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Solid operator.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.
