Nora Eckl2024-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben eine gute Einführung von dem instructor Max bekommen und konnten unsere Kleider anprobieren. Danach mussten wir 2 Stunden warten, bis das Schiff kam, was sehr unnötig war. Schließlich ging es los, wir haben vieles wiederholt. Als wir ins Wasser gingen, ist Max einzelt mit den Personen die Skills durchgegangen, er konnte mich gut beruhigen und war auch geduldig.Kira war auch dabei und war auch sehr hilfsbereit und hat genau so ein guten Job gemacht. War eine tolle Erfahrung, Danke nochmals. Ich dachte man bekommt unterwasser Bilder, war nicht der Fall. Luuk van Zilt2024-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
