Guidekin's take

A one man dive operation for first timers, small and unhurried, with the instructor teaching you from zero and taking you down the same day; no licence or experience needed, only basic swimming.

The dock fee and gear rental are paid in cash on site, and a health questionnaire decides on the day. 4.94 from 111 reviews at €58 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 8 in Scuba Diving, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
