“This was our first dive ever and we had Sebastian as our instructor. He gave very clear instructions. Guided us smoothly under water and inspite of us not being expert swimmers, he made sure we didn’t miss out on anything. He even shot pictures and videos of us underwater. We would live to come back and do a certification with him. The tour overall was managed very professionally. Right from the hotel pickup in the morning to drop back at the end, every small thing was well thought of and was of high standard.”
