Features
The service is excellent. For divers: You get an excellent
briefing and go diving with a dive buddy, you do not have
to dive in a group. Most certified divers prefer that option,
however, if you want to have to dive in a group with a dive
guide, the option is available.
You get spoiled, sit on the stairs of the "water level easy
entry dive platform", the instructor helps you to slip into
your gear, get up, giant entry into the water!

diving for handicapped divers. They have a dive instructor
