The mood on board and the laid-back attitude of the crew were really nice. But walking over ten minutes under the blazing 38°C sun just to get to the boat was tough. Also, some of the diving gear felt outdated broken buckles tied with string, and the air from the tanks had an odd smell.

It was a pretty long outing. The meal wasn't great just a cold hot dog so it might be wise to pack some snacks. There was quite a bit of waiting involved, but at least we were allowed to jump into the water to cool off. Thankfully, the instructors were excellent and made us feel supported, even as total beginners.

The visibility underwater was decent, although I expected a bit more marine life. Still, it was a fun and memorable experience.

It was a nice day out with the family. The team took care of all the details, and everything felt safe. My kids loved watching the fish while snorkeling, and the dive instructors were very patient with everyone. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is the limited diving time, but overall it was very enjoyable.

We went on two tours with Excursion Mania, and both were fantastic. The diving trip was especially great for beginners each person had their own instructor, and we always felt safe and supported. The boat ride was also relaxing, with time to swim in between dives. Later, we did the quad bike tour, which was loads of fun in the scenic mountains. Everything was punctual and well-organized. The online info was accurate and communication was excellent.

There’s nothing quite like being submerged underwater your senses sharpen and everything slows down. Breathing becomes rhythmic, and you start to move in sync with the sea. Watching the marine life was mesmerizing. Scuba diving was one of the most intense and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had a bit scary at first, but absolutely unforgettable.

We went on two dives, and lunch was a simple burger and fries served in between. The instructors were laid-back but serious about safety, making sure we understood all the basics. The first dive went down to about 4–7 meters, and the second reached 8.5 meters. One spot had an artificial underwater tree, and the other had remnants of a small submerged museum plus lots of interesting fish. The dives felt a bit short, but considering the number of people on board, it made sense. There was a nice atmosphere on the boat, and it was a relaxing place to hang out, sunbathe, and swim while others dove. I’d suggest bringing snacks though, as lunch wasn't served until late afternoon. Overall, a great value experience ideal for beginners. I'd go again with the same company.
