Excursion de plongée en apnée au Cap-Vert au départ de Sal

I felt the whole experience was too hurried also when you saw some fish the group leader was already heading in another direction and you didn’t get to appreciate the fish you saw. The group leader didn’t wait until the group had all caught up before he moved on. Apparently there had been sightings of yellow fin sharks sea turtles etc that morning but we knew nothing about it. The guide just asked what we saw at the end. No guidance on how to use the flippers either. Felt disappointed overall

Overall we didn’t feel safe for the following reasons; 1) safety talk before setting off should have been clearer 2) skipper didn’t follow basic safety guidelines, he left the helm unattended with the engine running, he didn’t keep eyes on when snorkellers were in the water, instead chatting to people on nearby boats, 3) boat was in poor repair 4) safety ropes around the sides of the boat were frayed, one snapped when we were instructed to hold onto it 5) we were told to hang onto the side of the boat down wind which resulted in us being pulled under the boat exacerbated when the rope snapped 6) other boat users drove very close to the snorkelling area at speed 7) instruction given was unclear about where snorkellers were expected to be
