“L’expérience était unique et le musée impressionnant, mais la durée de la plongée nous a semblé un peu courte. Les sculptures sont fascinantes, mais nous aurions aimé avoir plus de temps pour les explorer. Le personnel était très compétent et attentionné.”
“Mūsų šeimai tai buvo pirmas kartas nardant ir negalėjome patikėti, kokia tai buvo magiška patirtis! Vaikai buvo sužavėti statulomis, kurios pasirodė iš tamsos tarsi iš filmų. Instruktoriai buvo labai kantrūs ir paaiškino viską iki smulkmenų. Istorija po vandeniu – nepamirštama!”
“كانت تجربة الغوص في متحف Side تحت الماء أشبه بالخيال! رأيت تماثيل أثرية تحت الماء في مشهد لم أره في حياتي. الطاقم كان ممتازًا، والتجهيزات على أعلى مستوى. أحببت الجمع بين التاريخ والمغامرة في هذه الجولة. أوصي بها بشدة لمحبي الغوص والثقافة.”
“Die Idee eines Unterwassermuseums ist toll, aber ich hatte mir mehr Objekte und Informationstafeln erwartet. Die Sicht war teilweise eingeschränkt, vielleicht lag das am Wetter. Das Team war nett, aber die Umsetzung hätte eindrucksvoller sein können.”
“Мы приехали с двумя детьми и не ожидали, что музей под водой произведёт такой эффект! Дети были в восторге, хотя сначала немного боялись. Всё было организовано чётко, а инструкторы очень терпеливые. Это не просто тур, это настоящее приключение с историей.”
