EDIT: Changing from 3 star to 1 star due to reply. Please ask about korosun from locals around the area before proceeding with your booking, so you can make an informed decision before doing so. Just having read the reply, a lot of the onus and responsibility was put on the divers, me, to ensure that the dive was safe. I have never in my life had a dive instructor do that, whether or not their divers had 500 dives, or 5. After having done a liveaboard in the Red Sea with seasoned dive pros recently and looking back on this experience, it was honestly atrociously organized. Many of which Colin described as just outright false. Colin, truthfully, you organized for us to be picked up by one of your guys, so I’m not too sure how we were late to the dive shop, because we waited for your driver and he took us there, so I would really fact check your memory lapse. I was also staying with a friend Tali who went on an independent dive trip with Colin that ended in absolute shambles with them stranded in bad weather in the middle of nowhere. So please please please, take care of yourself and be careful under water.
ORIGINAL: The dive sites were spectacular and really grateful for the healthy reefs and fish. We went out with Colin for the day, and have to comment that this is quite a hands off diving experience, and may not be right for people who are relatively new to diving, or haven’t gone on a dive for quite some time.
The BCDs we were given were inflating throughout our first tank dive, which Colin quickly took to repairing before our second dive. At certain times of our dive, we couldn’t see Colin at all, and not sure if he kept his eyes on us. There were times during the dives we were anxious, but thankfully I was with my boyfriend and we both offered each other reassurance under water, and knew that ultimately, we could surface and the boat would be there. I didn’t feel particularly protected or safe if something went wrong, but nothing did, so we came out on the right side of that concern. And thankful we weren’t doing drift dives.
There aren’t many options for dive operators in Savusavu, but I would caution that you may need a certain frame of reference and level of experience before going out for the day. And FEELING safe before diving is just as much of a priority for me as actually being safe, and I didn’t feel particularly safe that day.
Also noting that this review may be replied to, potentially in defense, but it was our experience, and wanted to put it out there even if it helped 1 person to come prepared. - via
