Real experiences from our community of underwater adventurers
We've known the BEHIND THE MASK team for several years, and this was our first time joining one of their group tours. The trip to Mozambique was fantastic! From the organization and group leadership to the diving experiences, it was absolutely incredible. Extending the trip with a safari in Kruger National Park perfectly rounded off our experience. Furthermore, Marcel answered all our questions beforehand very quickly, and we felt extremely well-prepared.
This certainly wasn't our last BTM trip. We've already submitted an inquiry for the next trip in 2027 😉

Recently home with a full heart from BTM’s Mexico Madness trip to Magdalena Bay and Socorro. Truly international small group united in one passion: the ocean. Enjoyed every minute, learned lots about mammal behaviour, improved my photography, and loved how smooth the logistics ran behind the scenes. Only downside is I’ve come home with a bigger dive/freedive bucket list than before and a desire to upgrade my camera and housing 💰😅
Thanks to Timon, and Marcel from BTM for the planning and great atmosphere before, during and post trip.
