Amazing - thanks Quim!! - Amazing experience! One of the best things I’ve ever done. Dive.IS were fantastic from start to finish – so professional and friendly. My guide, Quim, was incredible: helpful, kind, and made the whole tour fun. The water itself is beyond words – crystal clear and absolutely stunning. I never once felt uncomfortable; just relaxed, warm, and genuinely happy. Thanks so much to the whole team!

Unique snorkeling experience - Very well-organized one-of-a-kind experience. Pick-up and drop off was very prompt, right on time. Our guide Konrad was very experienced and efficient while also keeping us entertained with wry humor. The briefing before we got in the water was very thorough. None of us in my family had any experience with drysuits before so this was a first for us. I was prepared for miserably cold conditions, after reading some other people's reviews, but I had followed the suggestions from dive.is for what to wear and it was not as bad as I expected. They send people out in small groups and we had a little bit of a wait as each group was sent into the water.

Such a cool experience! - The snorkeling was amazing! The water was so clear and beautiful. It was definitely chilly but not unbearable. Wilfred was my guide and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good experience. He also has a great sense of humor. Just a heads up that if you have long hair, it will be pulled some. It's definitely worth the price and such a cool experience.
