I had my first diving experience with Scuba Go last week and I am very enthusiastic about it. The team is very professional and friendly. We received excellent advice from John beforehand, and everything went smoothly on the day itself. I am very glad that I got to do my discovery dive with Onys—he is the best dive master I can imagine. His calm and attentive manner made me feel very safe. Additionally, he is super friendly. Also, his photo skills - chefs kiss ;). I will definitely come back and highly recommend Scuba Go, especially Onys.

I dived 5 days with Scuba go and it was a highlight of my trip. Hila and the team looked after everything and made the experience so enjoyable. They explained each dive site in so much detail which makes you feel super comfortable before jumping in. The food was great and they provide towels for you so you don’t need to think about anything. Before and after each dive the crew on board are super helpful which again made the experience so much better. Thank you so much for such good memories!! I’ll be back next year and for sure I dive with you guys!
