  Wir haben eine gute Einführung von dem instructor Max bekommen und konnten unsere Kleider anprobieren. Danach mussten wir 2 Stunden warten, bis das Schiff kam, was sehr unnötig war. Schließlich ging es los, wir haben vieles wiederholt. Als wir ins Wasser gingen, ist Max einzelt mit den Personen die Skills durchgegangen, er konnte mich gut beruhigen und war auch geduldig.Kira war auch dabei und war auch sehr hilfsbereit und hat genau so ein guten Job gemacht. War eine tolle Erfahrung, Danke nochmals.
Ich dachte man bekommt unterwasser Bilder, war nicht der Fall.

  Con mi novia hicimos el curso Open Water 20 en LBD y estuvo espectacular! Nuestro instructor fue Roberto y nos encantó: super claro, muy dedicado y ante todo con muy buena onda. Disfrutamos un montón la experiencia y fue una excelente forma de introducirnos al buceo. Gracias!

  Gjorde Open Water 20 och tyckte verkligen om det. Utbildningen var grundlig och välformulerad och min instruktör Ernesto var verkligen fantastisk och en höjdpunkt. De tar verkligen säkerhet på allvar och ser till att när du väl hamnat i vattnet så känner du dig både bekväm och säker. Kan starkt rekommendera att du tar ditt dykarcert här.
