EXCELLENT Based on 330 reviews benjamin c2025-02-21Verified Beautiful dive in February We had a baptism with Kenji, Francophone instructor, who took all the time to introduce us to what was going to happen and train us. Diving in Xlendi Bay is perfect for this christening: departure from the dockside, exercises under 1.5m of water then wildlife discovery up to 8-9m deep.The February conditions were perfect with calm weather and sunshine, we enjoyed the double wetsuit thickness for the 40 min spent underwater!Thanks to Kenji for his patience and advice.

EXCELLENT Based on 236 reviews MorgadesxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the inland dive point with Stephen. We felt really safe, since we did everything with 0 rushes. Will definitely repeat if we go to Gozo Mary JulianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Office was great about prompt replies, rental gear was great quality (very safe), ability to personalize where/what I wanted to do was excellent, location was great, price very reasonable. The best part was my dive instructor Jack (Jacques) was an absolute treasure. I hadn't had a dive in several years due to bad experience in a different country, and Jack patiently walked me through absolutely everything at the speed I wanted and the amount of review I chose, and he made solid decisions about what dives would be appropriate, etc. Checked in with me on everything. I felt very safe without feeling condescended to or bored. Plus, just an all around hilarious guy. Highly recommend. jack allenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Un club au top et un guide de palanquée ayant toutes les qualités humaines et professionnelles requise en la personne de Ludovic. C'est un combo gagnant à Gozo entre des épaves, des grottes et de l'explo. Si on a la chance de retourner à Gozo, nous reviendrons dans ce club sans hésitation.
