Great Diving Centre!! / Trip Advisor ReviewI took my AOWD certification there and there's absolutely nothing to complain. Staff is very friendly and instructors are well prepared. It's right by the beach and cozy, which makes things simple and easy. The house reefs are great, Definetely will come back.

Rosie the owner was very accommodating and extremely knowledgable - a great resource and support on the course and responded straight away to all my communications.
