Grazie a Luke, istruttore di sub, che ci ha fatto vivere una mattinata unica. Era la prima volta sia per me che per la mia ragazza ma siamo riusciti a fare tutto il giro senza problemi. Stupendi i fondali rocciosi dell’isola Bella!!
Escursione ben organizzata in ogni dettaglio, un’esperienza unica con personale ben formato e disponibile.
La consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che hanno sete di avventura.
