“Oh my gosh, what lovely experience! My husband and I are decently experienced divers but we haven't gone diving in a few years. Denae was so patient and personable,making sure we remembered everything and assisting with gear. George at the shop was so friendly, you can tell they both love what they do. We had an awesome dive...Denae pointed out all kinds of critters we never would have seen, and we saw an octopus! Afterwards they suggested an awesome restaurant with an incredible view of the city and even dropped us off. Can't say enough good things about this operation!”

The dive team made sure that we didn’t leave empty handed and quickly adjust our boat dives to a shore dive, which we were very happy with. Even though it was just the two of us, our dive leader was very patient and made sure we saw the unique terrain. It was awesome!!”
