“I’ve booked this trip very spontaneously and it was an amazing experience. The best of it was, that during this trip, you could experience both scuba diving and snorkeling! For me, this was the first time I try both scuba and snorkeling and I was a bit afraid of what’s going to be… But my worries we’re not needed, because I had a great crew with me. The boys were very friendly, caring and very attentive. I had a pick up fro my hotel at 07:00 am and we’ve arrived around 9:00 pm at Dibba al Fujairah.
