  The diving centre is run by an Italian former navy diver and his wife. I took my Padi advance there in October 2014, however I wish I'd chosen any other diving school on the island.the reason being - the guy's unprofessionalism and lack of teaching skills. He may be an experienced diver, however as a dive teacher he was a catastrophe he started by laughing at me in Italian with another experienced guest diver as I couldn't assemble a DIN connection, cause for my Open Water I'd only learned the Yoke system (he didn't realise I could understand what he was saying due to my mother being of Latin origin). He also kept shouting and ridiculing me as I was using my air a lot quicker than him with my only 5 dives experience and that's absolutely the worst one can do with a new learner.
  And last but not least he was sharing his air with me when I was almost out (which happned on the 4 of the 5 dives with him) so the other guest diver would have a buddy, however by doing this, he ran out of air completely once and endangered the whole group (fortunately I had a bit of air left in my tube and he shared the guest diver's oxygen).
  So judge by yourself and think seriously if you want to dive with someone who's had bends twice
