“Amazing experience. Took my 2 children, 11 and 14. Claire explained everything very clearly, we got kitted up and drove 5 mins to the dive site. My 14 yr old and I, after a few minutes practicing where we could kneel, went down with Ivi to the statues and had a great 45 min dive. My 11 yr old was a little scared so Claire, after a chat with him, stayed at about 1 meter and followed us so he could see everything. The ladies could not have made us feel more safe or been more patient and helpful. We also paid for some amazing photos (not expensive at all)…”
