Paihia Dive

Our family had a wonderful first diving experience. I was the one wanted to charlenge myself for my new year's wish list. Now I did it! 

Also extend the list to my husband and children. Expecialy with my daughter, she was scared about deep water, but now she learned how to overcome the fear and just do it. Which was great! 

We will come back for sure!

Great thanks to the team! You are nice and a lots of fun!
