Our dive guide Abby was great, she showed as very easy have to scuba dive and introduced us to the life under the water surface. It was an amazing experience and we saw next to lots of different fish, turtles and sharks and even heard the Wales. It was amazing. I can totally recommend them!

It was such an amazing experience from the very first minute to the end of a day I'll remember for ever. We called a couple places before Banyan, and Kevin was the only one that was incredibly nice and patient answering all the questions we had. We decided to book here because of the nice and thorough explanation of the experience over the phone. I was very nervous, it was my first time ever diving. We arrived to the meeting point and we met Abby, from the very first second she gave us excellent vibes. She explained every single step of what to look for in the day and all the safety measures we should take and trained us on it. First dive - I was very nervous but with her vast experience, Abby was able to calm me down under water, and ended up diving for 29 minutes and listening the whales singing at all times through the dive! The group (husband and in-laws) convinced me to go for a second five, the promise was we would see turtles and sharks... And it was absolutely true!!!! I went even deeper this time and lasted 39 minutes under water!!!! We encountered over 20 Turtles, 5+ sharks, and diverse beautiful marine life. After the dive I needed to give Abby a hug, she was the most patient, real, professional instructor I could have asked for. As I said, from beginning to end, the experience was top notch! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
