Phenomenal

Our first time doing scuba and it did not disappoint! Asia Blue but most importantly, Ian, were fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone. Ian made sure to keep us informed, educated and supported and overall ensured a wonderful, successful dive.

First time scuba diving

This was very well organized and my scuba master guide was super, actually had two of them, switching with another first time scuba diver. Feeled free and safe to dive for my first time and this was awesome! I highly recommend for this.

Whale shark!!

Great experience! First dive and immediately saw a whale shark. Very experienced divemasters too. When you dive for the first time, they won't let you out of their sight. Your equipment (life jacket and oxygen) is also continuously checked underwater to ensure that everything is safe. Thanks to my divemaster Sven I was able to keep my cool and enjoy all the marine life around Sail Rock. A very successful first dive!

Operator response

Brilliant day

Great experience, our guide Sven was brilliant throughout. Really knowledgeable and informative and handled two beginners really well. We saw a lot of marine life and would definitely do it again. Just be wary of seasickness!

Absolutely Life Changing Experience with ABOVE and BEYOND staff/crew/scuba instructors!

This was HANDS down the BEST and MOST memorable “first time scuba diving” experience EVER!! I have always dreamt of doing a scuba dive and FRANCIOSE was absolutely the most knowledgeable, patient and very professional! And with having a “one on one” private excursion underwater I felt very safe and secure in a new environment that’s way out of my COMFORT zone. I have (annoyingly severe sensory issues) with ASD and he rehearsed with me each and every step that was necessary to just embrace the experience and kept me calm under pressure and highly attentive to my MAGICAL underwater experience with high quality videos too!! I am so blessed and feel confident to peruse advance course scuba diving certification so I can continue to explore the beautiful oceans full of deep ocean sea life that I’ve seen only on The discovery channel!! Thank you for truly believing and accommodating me on my first time every “solo overseas travel”!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing experience

This was our first time ever diving and where a little apprehensive, which we assume is normal. From the moment we met our instructor TJ he put our minds at rest! With a friendly and confident manor. He gave clear instructions, with some helpful advice and how to stay calm under water. We always felt in safe hands. The dive it's self was a trip, the water was clear and the wild life and carol were everything you would them to be. It was an amazing introduction to diving and when we get back home we be looking to get our qualifications. Thank you TJ

Operator response

Thank you very much for chosing to go with us. We looking forward to see you back.

Outstanding experience

My first scuba Dive. My wonderful instructor Jannes made it an outstanding experience for me. His instructiions were absolut clear. The Dive was playful and joyful. I felt absolutely safe and guided all the time. He showed me a lot of different fish and on board he explained them with a book. But be careful. It is highly addictive and its possible you will plan the next diving course after that Thank you so much, Jannes for this heartfilling experience.🙏😘🙏
