“Extreme divers was very good and safe. The dive site itself was a little rocky and it’s a good walk up and down uneven rocky terrain with all the dive gear as it’s a shore dive to the Blue Hole. Our guide was very attentive to make sure we were safe. If you have hypertension bring a Drs note to assure you are well to dive. We also stopped at Poseidons temple which was an added cost but a wild drive down the coast, BEAUTIFUL day all around! Nice hotel pickup and drop off as well. Thx!!”

The dive team made sure that we didn’t leave empty handed and quickly adjust our boat dives to a shore dive, which we were very happy with. Even though it was just the two of us, our dive leader was very patient and made sure we saw the unique terrain. It was awesome!!”
