Ils repèrent et vous montre tous poissons/crustacés avec une facilité incroyable. Meme si nous étions que deux plongeurs ils nous ont emmené sur les plus beaux cites sans chercher a raccourcir la distance. Leur prix pour 3 plongées est celui que l'on voit pour 2 partout. En plus la nourriture est un menu au choix et est délicieuse. Au top ! Je recommande !

Chose to do 3 fun dives and had Ron as my guide, who was a great leader and very knowledgeable. The lunch was very good and would happily dive with them again!
