Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Good value for what's included.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. No hesitation recommending them.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
