Let’s start with the crazy atmosphere, everyone travels together in a boat and then splits into groups. Full of people, fun, laughter.
The course was at a crazy level, on the first day we were already in the water. Our instructor Nacho was professional, he calmed us down even when I was afraid, I felt like I was in good hands.
In general, the whole atmosphere in the club is just fun, you come and you just want to stay with the guys here.
A hot recommendation! Don’t close anywhere else! It’s crazy worth it.
There’s nothing to fear about the language, they speak slowly and in clear and easy English. Just come! An experience you won’t forget!!
