Signed on for the intro dive. Unfortunately I did not feel capable. But having my instructor Lewis made me feel very safe and reassuring me that it might all be okay once I’ve relaxed and really taking his time with me was much appreciated. Did take part in the snorkelling and it was incredible. The instructors are out there with you at all times keeping you safe and showing us the coolest sights. A big bonus is the lunch time. I love some scran and the spread they put on is fresh and light just what you need for a day of fun. Thanks again divers den for a great day Dylan

The crew was professional, personable, and attentive. Enough crew members to help out with anything. I felt safe and they worked like a well-oiled machine. The food was fresh and delicious. They made sure we had enough water available for drinking. I truly enjoyed my experience on this excursion. Highly recommend!
