Review of Sea Spirit’s certified diver trip from Giardini Naxos to Taormina’s Isola Bella Marine Reserve, with two boat-led dives.
“I did 10 dives in early Sept with Sea Spirit instructors Filipi, Carmelo and Swann. Fantastic experience all round. Clear communication with Cilla from the office for planning my dives. Good equipment sanitized every day, clear routines and instructions on the boat and during dive briefings; yummy Sicilian snacks and epic soundtrack during the navigations. Felt safe prior to and during my dives with this crew. The guys from Sea Spirit are very experienced divers, very professional and supportive. They have the best knowledge about local dives sites, adapting to weather conditions fast and know where to find the best wildlife underwater. Any issues that arise they manage it gracefully…”
