I wanted to share my amazing experience on the boat trip we recently had. We had the opportunity to go diving, and it was truly incredible. This boat offers not only diving but also freediving, snorkeling, and it's perfect for family outings with children. I was thoroughly impressed and highly recommend using this boat service to everyone. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

A very relaxing day with pizza and diving on a cozy boat 🛥️ + 🍕. It’s a smaller, but very neatly built boat with a deck equipped for 6-8 divers (12 tanks spots) with plenty of space for equipment, tanks and personal belongings. The cabin is well equipped with a toilet, comfortable cushion and a small kitchen with a microwave, coffee machine and a fridge. It was surprisingly cool on deck and in the cabin, plenty of shade.
