Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff at Butiama Marine Camp and at the Big Blu diving center that is located at the same place was very service minded and flexible to fit your individual needs. Will highly recommend anyone going there if you are interested in marine life! There was a very relaxed vibe and you were able to chat a little with other guests.
Negative: Don’t have anything to add.
Summary: Highly recommend if you like to dive and want to stay at a place with good service
