"I was amazed by the quality of what Novikontas offers. I came from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, thanks to the advice of my colleagues and my own choice. I'm glad I did, because both the training and the facilities at Novikontas are outstanding."
BASIC SAFETY TRAINING
"Novikontas offered highly structured training, paying meticulous attention to every detail. The instructor made the learning experience engaging and memorable, keeping a positive atmosphere all day. The clarity in procedures and high-level equipment were truly impressive. The most amazing part was the realistic sea rescue simulation at Novikontas Safety and Survival Theatre."
