Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Recommended.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Would book with them again.

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. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Good value for what's included.
