What some of our students shared about their time with us.

Excellent5.0 Based on 92 reviews from review us onKat LKat L ★★★★★ We did Advanced Open Water with Zeig. The gears are well-maintained and the trainer paid great attention to us to make sure we are doing the drills correctly and safely. Kontiki reef is convenient with lots of sea creature.Tomáš K.Tomáš K. ★★★★★ Po úspěšném absolvování třech zásadních a třech doplňkových kurzů nelze Dive Funatics nic vytknout. Tři hlavní důvody proč je vybrat:1) Nešidí výcvik a poskytnou vám eLearning okamžitě, t.j. na kurz můžete přijít nastudováni a neztrácet tak čas. Myslel jsem si, že je to samozřejmost, ale i ve vyhlášených výcvikových destinacích (např. Ko[h] Tao) toto bohužel zdaleka není pravidlem.2) Třicet metrů chůze mají pobřeží s korálovým útesem. Není tedy třeba se nikam daleko plavit, což šetří čas a vaši peněženku. Nikdo vám samozřejme nebrání vyhodit si z kopýtka a dohodnout se na pronájmu lodě.3) Neškudlí na vybavení- mají všecny výukové materiály pod vodu (vodotěsné pracovní listy, atp.) a dají vám k dispozici všechno vybavení (třeba potápěčský počítač) a nedělají kvůli tomu drahoty, nevynucují dodatečné platby.Grace B.Grace B. ★★★★★ Congratulations!Your Fanpage is eligible to receive Meta Badge Verified.

We ordered pizza from them one evening too and it was deliciousAdah Ingrid M V.Adah Ingrid M V. ★★★★★ DiveFunatics customized our dive based on type of dive we wanted. They have very professional staff who knows the area very well.We most specially loved the all-inclusive package (lunch, guide, gears, boat).
