Guidekin's take

A first dive experience in a small team with a PADI instructor: theory, then two open water dives at the MUSA underwater museum and the reef, gear and water included.

The marine park fee, pool class and wetsuit are paid separately and weather can cancel the day. 4.76 from 193 reviews at €108 per person.

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