Juan and his wife are very nice. I did learn the basics and had a nice dive on the beach, but did not see anything interesting and very few fish. I did not receive a full 4 hours. For the price of this, it was definitely not worth it. The total time spent for pickup, training video, dive, and drop off was 2.5 hours. I recommend you shop around to be sure you get your money's worth.

What a great adventure! very nice, understanding people :) slowly and thoroughly explained everything so even the greatest amateur can try their hand. Thetransport to pick you up from your hotel is very helpful. Everything is very professional, the instructor has a lot of experience so you can feel safe! We are very pleased. My girlfriend was scared before the start and after she said she definitely wants to do it again! Thank you team and recommend to everyone!

Excelente opción para hacer. La Paz que genera el estar sumergido, se siente extraño pero a la vez mucha relajación. Siento que sería lo más parecido a estar en el espacio flotando. Los instructores excelente. No había nadie más en el grupo, mas que dos instructores y yo, lo cual hizo más fácil el aprendizaje, y estar debajo aún mejor, ya que solo era yo, daba libertad a muchas cosas. Lo super mega recomiendo
