Wow, we absolutely loved this dive shop. During our visit they worked with contractors for dive guides so I'm not sure if we got lucky or if they are all this good. But we dove with Hafiz and Mizyan who were both awesome. They really catered to our wishes, considering what types of creatures and dive sites we wanted to see. We did not find a whale shark - although we tried on two different days. But it's ok, we had nice dives anyway and it was never promised to us like some of the whale shark specific trips. We did see tons of sharks and manta rays and other countless creatures! Mizyan was great at spotting all kinds of things both big and small. Our experience on the boat was lovely with tea, cakes, fruit and sandwiches on the long boat days. In my opinion, this dive shop struck the perfect balance of laid back island vibe to professional, responsible and safety conscious organization. Would totally recommend.
