I opted to dive at Sail Rock both days and it was an amazing experience. Tons of different and vibrant fish which was awesome to see on my first dive.
Cristo was my dive instructor and I couldn’t of asked for a more understanding and helpful instructor. When I was freaking out underwater he would calm me down and remind me to just breathe slowly. He was my underwater “Zen Master”.
Couldn’t of asked for a more perfect place to go scuba diving as well. Also they will show you how to clean and maintain the gear once you are off the boat. A really good way to learn all aspects of scuba diving in a great environment.
