Summary:
Together with my cousin, we dived the Historical Wreck Diving Program, and later I also dived the Elephant Cave Program. Both dive trips were wonderfully relaxed, but Elephant Cave clearly stands out and is one you shouldn't miss.
There was excellent communication beforehand with a lot of skilled and enthusiastic staff. The briefing before every dive is clear so you know what to expect.
Thanks again, Omega Divers!

Summary:
We really enjoyed our experience with Omega Divers! Yanis and Roman were amazing DMs in the guided tour of the Elephant Cave experience. My wife and I joined a small group for this SCUBA planned dive. Yanis was superb in helping and making sure my wife was comfortable with all the equipment . Roman was knowledgeable and friendly, and equally helpful. Their skill and ease of managing the group’s safety was flawless. The Elephant Cave is a MUST for any diver. Photos of the cave do not capture the magic of this place. Strongly recommend Omega Divers for your snorkeling and or SCUBA experience!

Summary:
The first dive was along a reef where we saw various fish. Good sight. Second dive was to a shipwreck from World War I. Very good experience and efficiently with little waiting time. Transportation to and from the hotel was included.
