Kann ich nur empfehlen. Hatten zwei schöne Tauchgänge. Das ist hilfsbereitund und unterstützend. Absolutely lovely and 100% dedicated base. Super and fun, yet modest and accommodating, but in all aspects very professional and knowledgeable. We had some fantastic day dives — but also the night dives must not be missed. Everyone there truly prefers to be under water than above, meaning no is ended because of time, but only because of air (and then only after the guides have shared their air where needed in order to extend the for everyone). Out of 12 dives with them, my *shortest* was 68min (the longest over 2h). I'm in love with these people :-) Big hugs to Angelos, Alex, Anthony, Konstantina and the rest of the family, both old and young! We had an amazing with this scuba center in Bali. Our kids, aged 15 and 16, took the advanced course, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care and professionalism they received. From the start, the staff were extremely welcoming and polite. There were no hidden costs, everything was clearly explained, and the service was excellent throughout. The instructors are truly passionate about what they do. They provided thorough briefings before and after each dive, making sure the kids understood not only the technical aspects of but also a lot about the local marine life. We felt confident and comfortable knowing our kids were in good hands—they were well looked after the entire time. The went above and beyond to make the both safe and fun. The location is also very convenient, with plenty of hotels and restaurants nearby. A great spot for families staying in Bali. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and school. Thank you again for taking such great care of our kids! I got my first class and certificate here and there is no better place for it. Everyone was very nice to me and I'm very grateful. Such a atmosphere and stress free 🤿🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 A dream came true! We were a bit nervous before the but the staff made it easy for us to learn the basics and enjoy the fully. We saw a lot of sea life, we’ll repeat for sure Great Center! Had an excellent with this center! The was professional, friendly, and made sure everything felt safe and enjoyable. The sea dives were unforgettable — we saw octopuses, squids, and even moray eels that swam right up to us. The equipment was in perfect condition, and the instructors were very attentive. Highly recommended! Deuxième expérience au sein de ce centre de plongée très accueillant et professionnel. Merci notamment à Luís qui j’ai passé le PADI OPEN WATER, c’était top, il met en confiance permettant une expérience de plongée exceptionnelle. Toute l’équipe est très sympathique et arrangeante et les fonds marins sont quand même fournis, plusieurs sites de plongée. À bientôt !! Got our discover certificate with them since it was recommended by a family member and it didn’t disappoint! Very professional, multilingual, guiding us from the very beginning. I specially liked that the instructors really adapt to your needs. 10/10 experience! Would totally recommend! Me and my 15-year old Stepson did the Open water course at Hippocampus. I am not the “fastest student”… and it took us quite some to get more comfortable under water. Our Luis adapted his teaching style to address our learning needs and helped us to reach the program objectives and make us better divers. All staff is very and the daily debrief teaches a lot about under-water creatures that you encounter during the dive. Thank you for your professionalism, training efforts, patience and the amazing photos during the last ; making it truly an unforgettable experience! 🙏 Nous avons passé une après-midi mitigée lors de notre sortie plongée mon petit ami. L’équipe dans son ensemble est très sympathique, mais malheureusement, notre expérience a été grandement ternie par le comportement de l’un des instructeurs. Dès le début, il a manqué de patience m’a mal parlé , sans raison apparente. La communication lui était difficile, et cela a créé un climat de stress pour nous deux. C’était ma deuxième plongée. J’ai du remonter rapidement à la surface à cause d'un problème inconnu. L'instructeur est venu m’aider , mais encore une fois, la communication était mauvaise et m’a demandé de redescendre rapidement malgré mes douleurs aux oreilles. Il a même appuyé plusieurs fois sur mon masque pour que je descende plus vite, ce qui a augmenté la pression sur mes oreilles de manière insupportable. Au final, cette expérience a été très décevante pour nous. J’ai jamais eu de problèmes de mer auparavant, ni malade après la plongée. Nous comprenons que le métier d’instructeur peut être difficile, mais il est essentiel d’avoir de la patience et une bonne communication, surtout dans une activité où la sécurité et le confort des participants sont primordiaux. De plus, nous étions quatre pour un seul instructeur, alors que le site internet indiquait un ratio de un pour deux, ce qui a ajouté à notre frustration. Bien que l’ensemble du service soit de qualité, l’attitude de cet instructeur a gâché notre expérience. J’ai contacté l’équipe, mais la réponse que j’ai reçue m’a encore plus déçu : on m’a accusé d’être raciste, ce qui est totalement faux et extrêmement blessant. Je ne cherche qu’à être traité respect et à recevoir un service professionnel, ce qui est le minimum attendu lorsque l’on paie pour une activité comme la plongée sous-marine Shortly after our OWD-Certificate we made two wonderful dives with the Hippocampus center in Bali. The was great - very and professional and the equipment was of very high quality. Now we are definitely hooked to diving! My only regret is not making even more dives and especially the night dive. Special thanks to Luis for his many advices and patience with us as an instructor. Hope to visit you again! Simply amazing✌️! Very kind and careful staff🧡! Thanks! Wow , wow ,wow !! I took my son for the first and it was so amazing. Fantastic instructors and an amazing in a wonderful location! Thank you so much for the great experience. Will definitely return to do more ! This was an absolutely great experience! Everyone at the center was super nice and welcoming. They were really good at giving instructions and making sure we were all ready and safe for the dive. It was only my second diving, and my first in Egypt was a little rough, but this one was absolutely perfect. I want to give a special thanks to our instructor, Luis Silva. He was so calm and and made sure our group was comfortable. He showed us all kinds of cool fish that we would have missed on our own. He was so helpful that I just felt like everything was going according to plan and I could simply relax and truly enjoy the underwater world. Thank you! It was an unforgettable time. Mon époux Stephane a pu plonger deux fois cette semaine dont une sortie nocturne. Un vrai régal, un accueil familial mais très professionnel (briefing, débriefing) dans un cadre superbe une eau cristalline et de surcroît chaude. Il en rêvait, il a pu même voir une tortue. Assurément nous reviendrons à Bali et profiterons de notre futur séjour pour plonger dans ce club si accueillant (et accessoirement dont les membres parlent bien le français). Nous recommandons ++++♥️ Very good value for money. All staff very professional and the is amazing. My wife went a second and surely we will go back. Big shout out to Luís and Anna. Amazing 👏 Самые лучшие впечатления от дайвинга с командой Hippocampos. Прекрасные инструктора и дайвсайты . Огромное спасибо за новый опыт и приятные впечатления. Если вы хотите заняться дайвингом в окрестностях Бали то рекомендую обратиться именно к Hippocampos. Today was my second with Hippocampos. Yesterday, my first time, was so good and I had so much fun that I had to come again. I think I found my new hobby! The instructors Luis and Angelos are very patient and kind. They explain well, are calm, and they make you fall in love with the sport. I am very lucky to have met them and to have been taught by them. The lady helping me with my appointment (apologies!, forgot your name) was very welcoming and kind too! I can’t wait to come again! I recommend them from the bottom of my heart, they gave me an unforgettable experience! Thank you! Siamo stati all'Hippocampos Center per provare il Discover Scuba Diving. Non avevamo nessuna esperienza di immersioni, ma l'istruttore Luis ci ha spiegato tutto il necessario in modo impeccabile e ci ha seguito uno per volta quando siamo entrati in acqua (parlava anche l'italiano!). È stata una esperienza fantastica, fatta in sicurezza e la consiglio a chi vuole provare ad immergersi Great experience, and relaxed throughout the whole experience! Lovely of people! Beautiful views, highly recommended! Amazing experience! Super safe, team, and stunning underwater views. 100% would recommend!!! Did my first last year . Came back a year later to pass my Advanced Open Water. Friendly and Professional at the same time. Luis is a very good instructor! Dedicated to what he does , transmits his passion. If you are looking for a center, this is the One! Nice center, did my advanced open water brevet in august 2024 and it was awesome. My Luìs Carlos did a really great job and it was always fun to learn and dive. Thank you for the fabulous experience. Excelente experiencia, súper recomendado, Natalia una genia siempre atenta y todo el equipo muy buena onda. Merci à toute l'équipe de votre bien vaillance votre gentillesse votre passion que vous m'avez transmis . J'ai passé mon open water diver le meilleur formateur Luis qui j'ai appris énormément . A very nice centre. Well-kept base with good and well-maintained equipment. We did a refresher and were very well looked after. Highly recommended and would be happy to return! Excellent Center. The best that I have been to. Really helpful staff that take the to explain the aquatic life that you see. Well priced and very professional. Pointers given for underwater photography! Would definitely visit again I had the best here as a first diver! Luís was very helpful and patient and the perfect instructor. I can’t wait to go back! It was an unforgettable experience! Ich war schon in vielen Tauchbasen tauchen, Hippocampos ist mit Abstand die beste. Das liebt das Tauchen und das Meer. In kleinen Gruppen wird so lange wie möglich (unter Beachtung der Sicherheitsreserve) getaucht. Ich bekam eine 15 Liter Flasche und wir waren immer ca. 1,5 Stunden unter Wasser. Angelos zeigte und erklärte alles, was wir unter Wasser sahen. Fische, Anemonen, historische Funde usw. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Nach dem Tauchgang gab es eine Ausführliche Besprechung zum gesehenen. Das ganz im schattigen Garten, bei einem Getränk nach Wahl. Selbst die eigene Tauchausrüstung wurde vom gereinigt. Ich war zum zweiten Mal hier, und werde sicher wieder hier her kommen zum tauchen. Alles familiär, ohne Stress, Hektik oder Profitgier. I had my very first at Hippocampos Center in Bali, Crete, and it was absolutely magnificent! The video instructions at the beginning were clear and very well explained, which made me feel safe and confident. Everyone at the center was extremely and kind. A special thanks to our instructor, Luís, who couldn’t have been better. He explained everything thoroughly, took excellent care of us, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe. He patiently taught us all the basics, and once we descended into the water, the became truly magical. He guided us around, showing us the underwater beauty and pointing out fascinating sea life. After the dive, we all sat together at a table, enjoyed some drinks, and Luís took the to explain every aquatic creature we had seen during the dive. It was both fun and educational! At the end, we even received a certificate, which made the feel even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to diving. Highly recommended! Couldn't have had a better with the Hippocampos Centre! My partner is a diver, and I came to complete my Open Water course so we can together. The at Hippocampos are amazing. They are all very personable and there is a strong sense of a 'family' atmosphere, which makes you feel instantly welcome and as though you are one of them, not just a customer. All very and knowledgeable, their and care really shows. My for the week was Luis. A long ago I nearly drowned swimming out at sea, and as a result hadn't entered the water for a decade until twelve months ago. Completing my Open Water course was a huge challenge for me and Luis knew this, and I could not have had a better to help me through. He has a wealth of and teaching experience, this was evident from the beginning. His knowledge of both the physical and technical aspects of is extensive, along with a vast and passionate knowledge for all of the amazing marine life he was so keen to help my partner and I discover. There were elements of this course I personally found very challenging, but with Luis' guidance and patience I felt very safe putting my trust in him to help me through the difficult parts, enabling me to achieve something I never thought I would be capable of. My partner and I couldn't have had a better at Hippocampos. We have made memories and friendships which we feel will last a lifetime, and have already said we cannot wait to return. Thank you Hippocampos team, we look forward to seeing and with you again! Une expérience exceptionnelle une équipe très sympathique. J’ai passé mon niveau open water diver Luis, un instructeur attentionné et très agréable qui m’a aidé tout au long de la formation. Je recommande fortement ce centre de plongée qui fait preuve de professionnalisme et de gentillesse.
