Superbes plongées avec Submariner ! Ce sont des locaux qui connaissent parfaitement l'île et sont très professionnels. Ils repèrent et vous montre tous poissons/crustacés avec une facilité incroyable. Meme si nous étions que deux plongeurs ils nous ont emmené sur les plus beaux cites sans chercher a raccourcir la distance. Leur prix pour 3 plongées est celui que l'on voit pour 2 partout. En plus la nourriture est un menu au choix et est délicieuse. Au top ! Je recommande !Posted on Google![]()

Chose to dive with Submariner and wasn’t disappointed. Chose to do 3 fun dives and had Ron as my guide, who was a great leader and very knowledgeable. The lunch was very good and would happily dive with them again!Showing only 4-5 star reviews
