Read moreMy wife and I decided to do the PADI open water course at Reef Seen. We stayed for five nights and did the course as well as a fun dive at the end. All in all we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed and everything was carefully explained to us. Sari was our instructor and she was just great. She had everything you look for in a instructor: patience, knows how to explain things, a lots of diving experience and easy going. The diving was really nice with a lot beautiful spots. ||||Apart from the diving, we also enjoyed our stay. The staff was really nice. The breakfast is at the beach with an incredible view to start off the day. There is also a small spa where you can have a massage.
