  A great dive instructor is like a shark: calm, confident, and completely at ease in their environment. Karim was exactly that 🦈 I completed my SSI Open Water course with Papiton and had an amazing experience. As a complete beginner, Karim made me feel safe and comfortable from the very first dive. He explains things clearly, stays calm, and has a way of making you feel relaxed underwater. You can tell pretty quickly that Karim has a lot of experience. He knows so much about marine life, and I loved hearing all the fascinating facts and stories behind the things we saw underwater. He also made some awesome videos that captured the experience perfectly One thing I really appreciated was seeing how much he cares about the ocean. Whenever he spotted trash underwater, he’d pick it up and bring it back with him. A special shout-out to Melani at the front office, who definitely reeled me in 🎣 She was super helpful, welcoming, and genuinely funny And not to forget they have an amazing b

  Experience here was super! The boss of the center, diving guide and all the crew members are so kind and are always willing to communicate and assist. My two buddies and I had a wonderful 4-day trip with them. Their boat is big and nice. There is enough room for many divers to prepare and gear up at the first floor. We each have separate box to put our small things such as fins, mask and hook. There are two fresh water showers at the rear of the boat. We took a quick shower and dried up after each dive with the towel they provided. Then went to the upstairs dry area to have a rest, seats upstairs are capacious and comfortable. The food on the boat is awesome! Great respect to the chief hahaha. We dived with Stefan for those 4 days. He is such a nice dive guide, no wonder the most famous one!

  We were so happy that we booked our fun dives with Papiton. Originally, we planned to dive for just one day, but we enjoyed it so much that we extended it to two days. The boat is amazing – it has very nice showers and a beautiful sundeck where you can relax between dives. The food on board is also really good. The entire crew is fantastic: friendly, professional, and always making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. During our dives, we were lucky to see many manta rays and turtles, which made the experience even more unforgettable ☺️ We can highly recommend diving with Papiton!

  We had the most wonderful first diving experience!! My husband and I did the “Try Dive” and although we were a little nervous beforehand, we immediately felt so well taken care of by the best guide, Karim (and his assistant guides too!). All of the crew and guides aboard were so welcoming and relaxed, which made for a perfect experience. We loved the food, organization and of course the incredible sea life we got to see with our own eyes. We highly recommend!!
