Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. 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. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.
