It was my first experience of doing the diving. All the staff are so friendly and try tp say so.e jokes for people who are nervouse be calm. The instruction, the transport and every thing is very good. In one word, it was amazing. I will definetly try it again. If you got panuc attack, try to do the breathing on surface and it would be so easier when you are under water. I will add the photos later, I'm waiting for the photos and I couldn't wait to send this review Thank you so much.
