Discovery Stories

" We had an amazing experience with Discovery Dive and I can’t recommend them more highly. This was run very well - with all of the theory studied prior to the actual diving part. This is a very comprehensive course and I truly felt gave a great introduction to all elements of diving. Huge thanks to Pierre for looking after them and instilling a love of diving and also an appreciation of the sea life! "

Brilliant Day Out!
" The team at Discovery Divers is like a big family that welcomes you immediately. They are warm and friendly and care about your experience being the best possible. The equipment was good, the food was delicious and the coral and marine life were some of the best I have seen anywhere in the world. "
