About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sandebeach19680 contributionsone of the best experiences EVERWhat can I say? I went and took part in the Open Water Diver course and from the moment we were picked up from our hotel, I just got a really great feeling about this company. I was nervous to say the least but all the way through the course I was given time and reassurance that gave me the confidence to complete and pass the course. I would highly recommend this centre for anyone who is wanting to learn the basics of diving, snorkelling or indeed jump into the open water course. A special mention to David, who was our instructor for the course, extremely knowledgeable, kind and very very very patient with me. Also Sarah who was a calming influence on me and Greg for helping out on the second day. Highly recommend this centre and cannot thank all involved for making this a memorable experience and most of all giving me the skills to take forward in my own diving exploits.Written October 3, 2024
- dazzlingreen0 contributionsPadi owdMe and my wife used this school to complete our open water diver course. We did three days with David our instructor assisted by Greg and Sara, they took two complete novices and helped them pass the course gave us confidence to progress advised on future ventures and were great professional instructors who made us feel at ease. I really enjoyed my course and will go back in the future for my courses or pleasure dives a great team who speak multiple languages fluently with lots of diving experience.Written October 3, 2024
- Mark_F25080 contributionsExcellentA brilliant introduction to diving. We had never gone diving before and so opted for the shorter diving session rather than a day course. We arrived and got checked in and fitted for wetsuits and equipment very easily. Our trainer Sarah was excellent and super friendly! We got a familiarisation period in the hotel pool on how to use the equipment before before heading out into the open water. We saw a huge variety of fish and definitely recommend you bring a banana to feed to them.Written September 25, 2024
- 905aileenf0 contributionsGreat experience as first time snorkeling!Great experience! First time snorkeling and our instructor Paula talked us through exactly where we would be going beforehand and explained everything step by step. We saw a wide variety of interesting and colourful fish and really enjoyed it! I was able to snorkel with my contact lenses in and my husband who wears glasses was given a special magnifying lens for his mask and so it was perfect for us both! Highly recommend!😃Written September 20, 2024
- 137harleyk0 contributionsWhat an experienceWow! What an experience! Firstly thank you to our diving instructor everything was explained brilliantly and in detail to make sure we were safe. The water was lovely and the fish! Wow the colours and there was so many! Bring a banana the fish love them!!! Also bring some money as youll need to buy a mouth piece €4 each. But it was an amazing experience and has made us want to get certified in scuba divingWritten March 27, 2024
- Aka78910 contributionsGood but....Good points: Friendly, helpful instructor and staff, enjoyed seeing the beautiful fish, good medical/risk form, transport to and from hotel. Bad points: I asked when I got in the bus why everyone hasn't got seatbelts on and no one still put seatbelts on. Even if I had my seatbelt on everyone could fall on me and hurt me if they weren't wearing a seatbelt. What if there was a kid or pregnant person on board.? Also the place where we got out of the water as in rise from the deep end was dangerous because it was a place where people dived into the sea and we could have got jumped on. Lastly, I hate smoking and I don't think staff should do that in front of customers. If it wasn't for these 3 issues I would give 5 stars. I will delete this if I get the right response.Written December 20, 2023
- Boing0 contributionsFantastic first scuba!Fantastic first scuba dive for myself and my two boys (13 & 11). Everyone was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, and all spoke excellent English. We watched a film to familiarise ourselves with the equipment and basic safety, then got kitted out with wetsuits for the 5 minute walk down to the beach. There was a short wait in the sea whilst the instructors finished off the previous session (it was fun floating about in our wetsuits 🙂), then we got fitted with our tanks, flippers, and masks, and were led out to the mouth of the harbour. We had two instructors between the three of us, and the boys went down to between one and two meters (because of their ages), and my instructor took me down to 5m. It was like swimming in a tropical fish tank! We would absolutely recommend Delphinus to anyone considering scuba for the first time, and we can’t wait to take the next step onto a full dive course!Written August 3, 2023
- smelly280 contributionsSnorkelling for beginnersWe did enjoy our snorkelling over all, but as complete beginners it would have been nice to spend more time getting us use to the equipment before heading out to sea. As a result of this my husband didn’t feel confident enough to continue to the snorkelling spot just outside the protected harbour. This was such a shame as it really did spoil the day out for us and for a few extra minutes tuition, this could have been solved. Lovely team of guides and the fish that my son and I saw were amazing. Just to add that my husband was not the only one in our group of eight that couldn’t do the snorkelling, another lady didn’t feel comfortable to snorkel after the tuition either.Written July 31, 2023
- blag0miras0 contributionsThe staff went above and beyond!Staff were super friendly, very thorough and really helpful! Hotel pick up/drop off was really helpful! They accommodated perfectly for me, due to my shortsightedness managed to find corrective lenses for my mask which only enhanced my experience. Bought photos as well - definitely recommend doing so! My first open water dive - although I was a little nervous, staff were very patient and super supportive/understanding. Would go again and recommend very highly!Written May 10, 2023
- 604agnek0 contributions2 days of my holidays ruinedI have booked a boat tour with snorkling with Delphinus for May 8. Shortly before the tour I was contacted to re-schedule this to May 10 because of “potential strong waves”. I agreed and had my day’s plans ruined. On May 10, I was picked up with other people and we all spent 1-2h on a minivan to reach Delphinus diving school. After we arrived, we were informed the boat had some engine issues and we were offered two options: 1) do 1h diving from the beach with no boat tour and have “free time” on the beach after or 2) pay extra money to do the diving course because they “are a diving school after all”. I asked for a refund and was sent away. Second day’s plans were ruined and time hugely wasted. I did not expect last minute cancellation like this, I think they must have had a respect for people’ time to at least inform them before the pick up. I do not for a second believe that the boat was only checked 5min before departure. Strongly do not recommend this school, they look a scam. Not coming back even if you pay me.Written May 10, 2023
- 995alcionem0 contributionsBig delay with kids at lunchtimeI did two dives and cancelled one snorkeling dive. The divemaster and the equipment were good.. However, they kept us waiting for two hours at lunchtime with a fully equipped nine years old kid without any explanation. In the end we had to cancel the snorkel and deal with a hungry and disappointed childWritten April 9, 2023
- supermumofthree0 contributionsGreat first dive experience for kidsMy two boys aged 12 and 10 did the introductory scuba dive. The safety briefing was on a video screen and seemed comprehensive. What I hadn’t realised was that the subsequent dive was just my two boys with their individual instructors, so effectively a one to one dive experience. My eldest was confident from the off and he had a great experience, feeding fish and he said there was lots to see underwater. My youngest was unsure at times but with the support of his instructor he too had a dive. Both instructors could not have been more supportive and helpful. As a parent watching their first dive experience I felt very reassured and impressed with the whole set up. We opted to pay for their underwater photos and were not disappointed. We got lots of photos and they were of really good quality. We’ll be back next year!Written January 5, 2023
- rafmak850 contributionsThanks mr Bartek!My husband and I are very satisfied with diving with Mr. Bartek 🙂 who explained everything sensationally and showed us the beautiful life under water. we will definitely come back to diving with this manual! we recommend to everyone. Thank you and see you :)Written October 4, 2022
- maciejt5770 contributionsDiving with Bartek the (best) first experienceOk for me the first experience was good, but i was afraid for my wife as she is scared of water, she is a disabled person and she cant swim. I was 200% sure that she will not get passed the floating point, but what Bartek did was amazing. Got under my wife and navigated her down. Instead for me i was pushed down like a brick, so you get my point. She went down to the bottom as she was well suported, for me, i think the young guy has a lot to learn, but Bartek!!!!!

- Discover076583593680 contributionsWhen purchasing the ticket (Tripadvisor website) there is a lot of information that does not correspond to realityfirst it says on the website that all the material is included, but in reality we had to pay the part to breathe another 4€. As it says on the website that it's 24h I assumed it was a full day and not just 3h. third, it says on the website in the included that a drink and a snack are included. They didn't give us anything to eat or drink. To finish, lack of communication and little explanation. As far as photos are concerned, we were not asked if we are interested in photos, so there were no photos of us underwater.Written September 7, 2022
