They’re a small, tight-knit, and super professional group that made everyone feel at home. Dive masters Emilio (a total pro with a sharp sense of humor), David (always smiling and confident), Dani (a true expert in the marine life here), and Idris (the heart and energy of the boat) were all outstanding. The ship itself is cozy and well-run, and you really feel taken care of from start to finish. All in all, an unforgettable experience made even more special by the people who led it.

Fantastic trip with my family and friends. We shared memorable moments with the crew on the vessel New Year’s Eve included) and experienced unforgettable dives with Nacho, Dani, Ivan and Diego. A special thanks goes out to Nacho who took care of my wife during the whole trip, as she was less experienced than our group. He guided her and took care of her security during all dives: she felt absolutely secure and enjoyed every moment underwater. It was my second trip and I’ve planned a new trip in April 2026, again with my family.
