“I had the most wonderful time with Temper Divers, their instructors Claire and Evie were friendly, kind and made sure both I and my partner felt comfortable during this experience. Initially my partner struggled going under the water but Evie made everything seem doable with her calm and reassuring approach. My partner, who nearly gave up, ended up swimming down and loving the experience once he conquered his fears. I however, instantly fell in love with being under the water and swimming around the beautiful sealife. We had videos and pictures of our experience to remember it by. Thank you to our amazing photographer and instructor who made everything memorable.…”
