Tough in beginning of December, the waster was not too cold and we had a short testing of our skills at the beginning to make sure we learned everything, and then a half hour or so dive. We were able to see several species of fish, unfortunately the turtles are only in the summer. The staff was really helpful, patient and nice. We hope to have the next experience soon!”
