Thank you Dennis and Artur, we had a fantastic time freediving and spearfishing 🙏🏻 Dennis helped us learn the basics of freediving and gave us some really good advice for future improvement. Thoroughly enjoyed the spearfishing tutorial and trip with Artur who was very knowledgeable and a great guide. See you guys again in future! 😎
Had an amazing freedive experience with Artur, our guide. We went on a manta ray hunting trip to several spots in Nusa Penida and encountered around 4-6 manta rays and various other fish, including turtles. We were also very lucky and encountered dolphins on the way to the next spot to see the coral reef. It was an unforgettable moment during our tour. Artur, our guide, was also very friendly and experienced, knowing the quieter hours and the most interesting spots. We almost got to dive with the dolphins, but unfortunately, the waves were too big, so we could only watch from the boat. Overall, it was a 100/10 experience and I would recommend others who want a fun dive to try this tour.
