My husband, Nick, and I did our Open Water certification with Pices Diving - through their instructor, Taj, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Taj was calm, level-headed, fun, and exceptionally knowledgeable - a truly epic Instructor and Dive Master from start to finish.
I also can’t recommend Pices Diving enough. We made a fairly last-minute booking, but they were incredibly accommodating - welcoming us warmly and making sure we knew exactly what we needed to achieve before diving - thanks Naide.
As for Taj - wow. She’s not only highly skilled but also empathetic, considerate and deeply passionate about diving. She struck the perfect balance between keeping things light and fun while instilling a real sense of safety and confidence. On our dives, she pointed out fascinating marine life and helped us feel truly immersed in the underwater world - if you're looking for someone who can spot the small stuff, she's your girl!
She’s a phenomenal instructor and Dive Master, and if we had the chance, we’d dive with her again and again (and again!).
