Clients Testimonials
Tim W
Client of Cura Dive“I booked an introduction dive together with my son at Curadivers. A friend of mine recommended Pascal Hermes and give me his number.
After contacting Pascal the appointment was quickly made and the next day he picked us up at our accommodation.
For me it was my third dive but the last dive was 15 years ago and for my son it was his first.
Pascal is a very experienced diver and explains everything very clear and slowly.
He made us feel very relaxed and comfortable in the water. He showed us nice places and fish.
It was a great experience and thanks to Pascal for me and my son a unforgettable dive.”
