This was a last minute tour we decided to try and boy, it was totally worth it! No one in our party have ever scuba dive and Zola, our instructor, was very friendly, patient, and professional. He gave us clear and simple instructions and rules to follow. We had two people in our party that had a panic attack but Zola calmly gave both of them additional one on one tutoring. Zola had a positive demeanor despite the challenge and we really appreciate his patience. Once our group was comfortable, he slowly maneuvered us into deeper water - the next thing we know, we were scuba diving! Zola was recording our underwater adventure on the Go Pro so that was a total bonus! The whole experience was educational and fun - one of our things to do box just got checked off the list! : -) Zola was going at our pace in the beginning and got us to go at his pace when he felt we were more confident. This is an absolute must for beginners - highly recommend!
