David was a phenomenal dive master. He was very patient, professional & encouraging! He is very knowledgeable and professional, but most importantly safe! He is a true credit to Dive.is and their mission to bring diving to the masses.
Amazing Experience!

What an amazing experience!!! A must see!!! I’m a beginner dry suit diver, and overall, but Ants made sure I was comfortable, and safe throughout the entire dive. He was super experienced, and I’m so happy that he made such a special moment fun and enjoyable. Thank you Ants!
