Incredible first-time diving experience with Nalu Dive! Oneil was an outstanding instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and super encouraging. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt safe and confident underwater. The dive itself was magical! We swam through vibrant coral gardens, spotted a playful fishes, and even saw a shimmering school of sardines. The equipment was top-notch, and the facilities (hot showers, lockers) were a nice touch after the dive. Highly recommend Oneil and Nalu Dive to anyone, especially beginners looking for a fun, stress-free adventure!
