  Staff are professional and friendly. Boat and equipment are excellent. Wreck sites are good and interesting. This diving business is well worth visiting.

  Well, I feel like I have to review this place given Katrin's review - my conscience won't stop nagging me since it doesn't match my experience. I notice that all the 1- and 2-star reviews on Tripadvisor are from August 2016, which as I understand was quite recently after Chris took over. We actually went out in May 2017 half a dozen time on a large hired boat and not the RIB mentioned. We did get offered sea sickness pills, which I found odd - I'm guessing Chris had a bad experience with a guest once, they weren't needed. As for the dive, the sites were well chosen and competently executed. They had enough gear to rent, two enclosed showers and the pre-dive briefing was good. I'll rate this as 4 stars only because I can't bear to rate it as equal with a spectacular place I went to in Fuerteventura that has similar diving conditions. That said, he's only has only been running the place for a short while, so that may well change.

  At the end of August 2016 we went diving with Dive Time in Lagos, a boat trip with 2 wreck dives. What started as a fun day diving quickly turned in an unwanted, dangerous adventure. The owner, Chris, greeted us with sea sickness pills, apparently the water conditions were changing, yet the sky was blue and the sun was shining. We all know that choppy sea and high waves can be part of the diving deal, so five of us geared up nevertheless and headed to the boat in the nearby marina. As we arrived, the two guides and Chris discovered that the boat was damaged. A segment of the inflatable tube around the boat, keeping it afloat, had been punctured and deflated. Nonetheless, Chris assured us that the boat was stable and could still take us to the wrecks, without checking for further, less visible damage. This was a mistake as we later discovered, and I guess we should have withdrawn immediately from the dive. But what happened afterwards was beyond our imagination, and the confluence of many unfortunate mishaps with what seems a blatant disregard for safety measures on part of the company made us regret that we didn't turn around at this point. You can read the rest of my review on TripAdvisor, there isn't enough space here to account for all the grave mistakes and the level of negligence that we experienced during our trip with Dive Time. It is far from my intention to write a negative review just “because”. However, you will note that there were a series of grave disregards for safety measures, which added up to a dangerous situation. I feel it is therefore my duty, for the good of future customers and the company, to point out the shortcomings so that they can be addressed to prevent a real catastrophe or even loss of life from happening in the future. We noticed the many positive reviews about Dive Time, and we understand that everyone seems fun and nice while things go easy and smoothly. But professionality shows during emergencies, and, unfortunately we had to witness the amateurish organization and equipment of this company.
