Diving is completely safe but with insurance agencies diving falls under ‘extreme sport’.

What our divers say about us

"

I had a nice first dive with Julien. He takes time for a good briefing and after we went into the water. We were in the shallow part first and when I was comfortable Jacob took me a bit deeper onto the reef. My boyfriend already had his PADI so he dove with us which was very nice. If your still in doubt I can highly recommend it.
