11. BRELA Bikini Dive *Try SCUBA DIVING*
5.0· 101 reviews· 2 hoursAlmost everywhere Try Scuba Dive is done in large groups and with duration of max 30min. Before that often you will travel for 1 hour on overcrowded boat and wait for your turn to go underwater even longer, mostly in thin shorty suit. It is experience with questionable quality as you can see on many reviews online. With us you can be sure to go in the water with only one more diver, (Instructor and max 2 divers) and to stay underwater for minimum 45min. It is private activity, it is tailored like that to lower stress for first time divers and to provide maximum safety. You will get your timeline that suits you in advance and meet us in the Diving Center exactly at the beach. Dive is done right there, literally 5 meter from our Dive Center on great location that we proudly call our Home Reef and that is also regularly visited from other dive centres. In 2 days after the dive Google Drive link will be sent to you with all your photos and videos. And yes, you will love it :)
