    Amazing dive shop and staff

    Staff: I stayed at Evolution for 6D5N with the goal of attaining the Advanced Open Water certificate, though prior to this, I hadn’t dived since getting my Open Water certification in 2013. Needless to say, rusty was an understatement. I was paired with Sebastien (aka...More
