This has been a truly amazing experience that I am so glad that I got involved in. All staff were so lovely and supportive which made the whole trip feel at home. The diving was great and so were the day trips. I have made great friends and will definitely look into doing this again in the future! Thank you (:

Amazing time with GVI

Overall I had the most amazing time and met so many lifelong friends! The quality of teaching for diving was very good and the presentations we learnt were very informative, however there was a lack of actual monitoring and research of the reef but I think this was due to a lack of correct information on the website.
