Summary: We completed our Open Water and Advanced Diver certifications here; we had never dived before. However, we felt well taken care of right away. Joaco showed and explained everything excellently, and we all felt safe the entire time. The groups here are very small, and one instructor always has about 3 students (which is often not the case at other diving schools). I would definitely recommend it to everyone. The other diving instructors and divemasters are also very nice, and you can approach them at any time. Even when you are not diving, there is always someone available throughout the day to whom you can go.
