Thoroughly recommend Miles and Mario and their team. Very professional and friendly. Made me feel so comfortable. Did my refresher dive with them as well as a dive for fun and sightseeing. Fantastic dives, just no end of fish to look at and Miles knew the locations so well to be able to take to me see some really amazing things. Was relaxed and had an amazing day diving. Aditionally they have spent time sourcing the most eco friendly ethical equipment avaliable which i really appreciated. Would go again. Thank you so much for the fabulous holiday memories.Posted on Google Carlos Martínez (carlosalba13)3 July 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencia fantástica buceando con Mario. Se nota que le encanta y nos ayudó mucho a refrescar conceptos tras unos meses sin bucear. Además el material que tienen llama la atención por lo nuevo y bien cuidado que está. Muy recomendable para conocer el fondo marino de Gran Canaria.Posted on Google Gema Bautista3 July 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencia genial! Hemos buceado con Mario, quién nos ha transmitido muchísima tranquilidad y confianza y hemos disfrutado mucho de las inmersiones! Es el centro con el material más nuevo y cuidado con el que hemos buceado. 100% recomendable!Posted on Google Carine abram3 July 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avec mon mari on a beaucoup apprécié la plongée avec brothers diving. C'était notre première fois à tous les 2 et on a ressenti tout le sérieux et la passion qu'ils ont pour leur métier. Ils sont aussi très à cheval sur la sécurité donc on se sent en sécurité même dans un élément aussi peu rassurant que sous l'eau. Même lorsque jai eu une peur sous l'eau, Miles a réussi à me mettre suffisamment à l'aise pour retenter d'aller sous l'eau et c'était vraiment géniale. On peut vraiment apercevoir beaucoup de poissons et même des poulpes. On vous conseille sincèrement ce centre de plongée qui a pour objectif de vous faire aimer la plongé et pas seulement vous emmener sous l'eau. 😊 Merci encore pour cette super expériencePosted on Google Aneta Skoneczna29 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great diving adventures, I highly recommend :) You can see beautiful marine life and the guide really makes sure everyone feels safe.Posted on Google Jauune Ive29 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. amazing experience the guys were very professional and friendly clear instructions made you feel totally at ease would definitely recommendPosted on Google Velma Fritz27 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So fun! It was my first dive in a year and they were so good at showing me the ropes (again) and making sure the gear was sorted. Saw an octopus, some rays, a ton of fish. David and Benjamin were both amazing guides!!! Visit them—and book directly with the shop (rather than Get Your Guide) as they have to pay GTG 30% of the amount.Posted on Google David Zor23 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hice el curso Open Water con Brothers Diving. Mario y David son grandes profesionales que trasmiten confianza y con mucha paciencia, lo recomiendo muchísimo.Posted on Google Fiona22 June 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 4 days diving with Myles, Davide and Mario.
