Met all the crew at the location and they got us fitted into our suits and wet shoes with no issues, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We then all hopped into car to amadores beach where we then got dressed and headed to sea, the girl taking us explained everything for us very well and let us get accustomed to the snorkel in the sea without making us feel rushed. She then took us out for just under an hour around the bay where we spotted lots of fish, sea urchins and even an octopus! Was absolutely beautiful and would highly recommend it. Breathing in the snorkel does take some getting used to but all you need is five minutes to figure out how to breath properly and realise you’ll not drown under the water if you’re sensible and not panicking! Would absolutely do it again and would urge everyone to give it a go. You’re in safe, friendly, knowledgeable hands with the crew and I couldn’t fault a single thing.

It was a great experience for our family (child 12 years old) to experience the underwater world as total beginners! You feel like you are in good hands here and fears disappear by themselves! After the dive we were even able to explore the beautiful town and have a good meal. We don't want to miss this experience and recommend it wholeheartedly! Pick up from the hotel and back worked great! We would like to say a big thank you to the team again for this experience LG Zoey,Luan and Jenny

The activity was very well organized. I haven’t had an experience neither with scuba diving nor with snorkeling, which is why I guess I was completely out of balance in the water, but thanks to my instructor Mari at the end I was able to swim through the reef and see some fish. Overall it was a really amazing experience.

Woooww, worth for every single cent! I wanna highlight Carlos he is extremely well experienced and very patient!!! A big well done to Carlos! I definitely would do it again and again!

Great first time snorkelling was really enjoyable and the instructor Erin made it really easy and put us at ease
