It was a great experience and the instructor (Emilios) was very nice and showed and explained everything well. Even during the diving process, he made sure that everything was okay or that help was needed. We felt very safe with him. You could see a lot of fish at the dive site. We would do it again and again. Don't forget to take pictures of yourself!

The jeep safari was an unforgettable experience for us. Our guide Armin infected us with his enthusiasm for the Greek peninsula, the people, Greek culture/history. We got an insight into the life of the Greeks, the medicinal plants and now know the typical national dishes. The six hours flew by. We would book again and again. Many Thanks

This was an amazing experience, Sven was really great and friendly. We got to swim which was super fun and the sunset was beautiful! We also got to see the moon and the boat ride was lovely ! I would definitely go again !

Gladly again, the trainer really great explained everything well, the diving progress was great, I found everyone who didn't do something like that, it was really fun for the whole family. And we will do it again.
