We had an amazing experience! Olivier was great fun and pushed us to be the best divers we could be! Course was well worth the money, and the dives were pretty amazing! We had a lot of fun, and are officially certified and ready to dive in other parts of the world!

Great active course. Instructor explained things clearly and made me feel confident underwater. Great dive sites. The course book could have been sent to me a few days earlier because it was a stressful to get it completed while diving in 3 days.
