Featured centre July 2006.
Some diving centers here in Tenerife claim to be the biggest diving center, to be the most professional diving centre, longest established diving center etc etc... Well here at Tenerife Scuba we don't claim to be any of these rather we let our customers speak for us and let you be the judge. We are also happy to put you in contact with some of these people if you so wish. Customers have been kind enough to sing our praises via email, diving Forums, their own web sites and even in the diving press. For the cynics out their comments are unsolicited.
Also have a look at Divernet and Yorkshire Divers forums
Chris, Sarah, Andy - and Alfie (who kept us entertained every lunchtime),
Well, we got home ok, waded through a weekend of chores and staggered back to work even more exhausted than when we left. But hey, we have just had a wonderful, wonderful weeks diving & just wanted to thank you all again for making it all possible. Lynne will still talk anyone to a standstill about her first wrecks, rays and octopi and it's been pointed out that even this grizzled, cynical old-timer has been seen with a dreamy look and wistful smile whenever anyone asks about diving in Tenerife. Looks like I missed a couple of weekends decent weather whilst we were with you but the dive summaries have left Lynne a little less enthusiastic about starting her UK diving career in the next few weeks: 'Visibility - good, at least 8 mtrs' (Hmm), 'Temperature - 14C' (Brrrr) but we'll see. However, she's still dead keen to get back to you in 11 - 12 months and do her Advanced Open Water, with or without that ridiculous pink Skap!
So - many, many thanks again to all of you for making it such a fabulous holiday, wishing you a successful (but not stressfull) season and we will raise a glass (or several) of Canaries honey rum to you all - when we can find the bottle!
Best wishes
Paul & Lynne
Chris
I think I can say that we all had a great time. One of the few long weekend trips we have done where everything was spot on.
Cheers
Paul
Hi Sarah,
Thank-you we arrived back safe and sound and with no delays.
We all agreed that we had a lovely weekend with great diving, good accomodation and good food recommendations from you.
You, Chris and Andy made it all a fab few days, loved the easy going nature!
We will certainly be interested in booking a trip to the island wether it is this year or next will confirm over next few weeks ish!
Once again thank-you very much.
Kind regards
Fay
Hello Sarah and Chris !
We are safely back home. It's not so cold as I thought it would be. We have +8 !
We enjoyed our stay so much that it was hard to leave the island. Everything was perfect. The dives were exellent, more than I ever expected. The DVD we have already seen several times. First time late on Sunday night when we were back in Kerava. Because of you both, Andy Mc, Andy Q and Tony we felt that we are really welcomed, you all took so good care of us. It is nice to come back and dive with you again !
Matti forgot his weightbelt in the boat, black Scubapro. Can you send it together with Jaakko's t-shirt ? I told Matti to write to you so he is doing it soon. I pass your regards to Jaakko and Matti.
Have a nice holiday !
Tarja
Thanks Sarah & co,
Yes very much enjoyed the diving and company! Graham was glad he went too!!
Thank Chris for the pics I tell him to let me know if he has any more interesting finds at White Moon I it seems to always produce something exceptional!!
First dive at home cancelled due to s - - t weather. Will try again this weekend?
Cheers
Steve
Hi Chris and Sarah,
I hope all is well! Just a quick note to say that I got back to Blighty safe and sound. Thanks for really looking after me whilst I was out, I felt as much like a friend as a customer. The diving was brilliant and I have been boring everybody with the pictures Andy took! I'm all refreshed and ready to get back to work now, but I'm planning on getting back out before the end of the year to do a bit more diving!
Give my best regards to Andy, Mark and young Alfie!
Thanks, Kerr
Thanks for a top holiday and the training wasn't too bad either..... .... just a shame about the staff :oD
Yep it's the nightmare client you prayed you'd never hear from again but knew in your darkest moments that this would not happen. What can I say, I'm competitive and want to be number one!
Anyway back to reality, thank you again for a really great week and the operation went well.
Hope all is sunny and going well with you all.Will be checking out Docklands Dive club soon and spiceuk looks pretty awesome too.
Quick dive related question, how is the water/weather in October?
Cheers Robbie
Hi Sarah, Chris and Andy,
I just wanted to thank you again for a super week of diving! Great customer service together with finding ourselves usually the only boat on a dive site was a definite winner! I'm very glad that we joined you in Tenerife rather than visiting the red sea again. Personally I found the variety and abundance of marine life the greatest surprise!
Wishing you all the best,
James & Helen

Hi Sarah, Chris & Alfie.
I can’t believe we’ve been back a week already, getting back into the work routine.
Just a note to say thanks very much for a great week’s diving, along with great hospitality and making us feel so welcome. Needless to say we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return in the future.
Please pass our best wishes on to Andy too and Mark & Helen back in the UK.
Many thanks again,
Regards, Compo, Donny & Sick Note! (Andy, Mark & John)
Hi Sarah,
So we've been back a couple of weeks now and the post-holiday blues have definitely set in, especially as the days are getting shorter, mornings darker and generally much colder!
Not that we're bitter or anything!
Term has started again and we have lots of people excited about learning to dive, it would be great to show them the DVD from our trip, not only to make them jealous, but to give them a goal whilst they're standing shivering in stoney in their wetsuits in December.
If you could send me a copy of the DVD I would be eternally grateful -partly as some people don't quite believe how many rays there were!
Hopefully see you again sometime,
love to Alfie and Chris,
Shalini
Hello Chris and Sarah,
Angela and I got back to Luton earlier than we thought, the plane landed 30 minutes before it's scheduled time.
Weather has been quite sunny and very humid last night.
Thank you both for once again a most memorable and enjoyable trip. El Hierro did not disappoint the second time around. in fact El Bajon is as good as Ray City and that is saying something.
The Rescue Course arranged for both myself and Angela was very well organised and feel that I am a much improved diver for the knowledge and skills learnt. Shame about Bottley ( Missing Diver 8 litre plastic bottle) but then we both kept together in very poor visibility.
My thanks to you both for what must have been frantic organisation.
Coming to Tenerife is now a very nice habit and I cant wait until my next fix. Seriously, both of you are now like family and everything you do, picking us up at the airport, arranging the superb apartments at Westhaven, and the overall hospitality is fantastic.
Sarah/Chris - Thanks for a really enjoyable day's dive on NY Eve. I've recommended you to several dive friends, and to my own dive centre, so hopefully others may go where I have been!! I hope one day to visit again - and base myself in the South, this time!
Just a quick message to thank you again for some great diving. We arrived back safely and on time! We got the films developed and despite my lack of skill we even got some good pics - so even the photography is easy at Tenerife!! Hope all goes well for you and we may see you at the Dive Show. Cheers Nigel and Barbara
Thank you for an excellent weeks diving during October half term week. Visibility was superb and the variety of dive sites and fish life was much better than we have experienced elsewhere before. As a family of four (two children aged 12 and 17) it is sometimes difficult to keep everyone happy but we had no problems on this holiday. The highlight of our dives was clearly the Ray dive, which we insisted on doing twice. During a frenzied feeding session we were completely surrounded by a dozen rays and many other fish. Stumpy the massive Atlantic Ray also visited. Hannah our 12 year old daughter (junior advanced open water) aptly describes the dive in her log book as Scuba Heaven best dive ever. I could not control my excitement Rays and fish were everywhere-we could hardly see each other. I touched and stroked the rays they were so soft and they went against my face. The family agrees. We will miss our surface intervals at the local restaurant overlooking the sea and the friendly banter and jibes from Chris (particularly Hannah who is still planning her revenge) since returning home we have looked at the updated web site which we thought was excellent. We will be visiting regularly for updates. Thank you, again for a very memorable holiday, Best wishes, Janet, Michael, Andrew and Hannah
Thanks for the wonderful diving last weekend. Unfortunately I was not able to get back to do more dives with you but we just got involved with other things (including viewing properties for sale) and the time flew past - it was nothing to do with me being late back on the Saturday. We shall be back to Tenerife and I shall certainly be coming diving with you again.
Hi to you both
Just a note to say thank you very much for a great holiday. Well first day back at work, it's 5.10 dark outside and I'm stuck behind a desk again. It was freezing cold waiting for the train this mo ing and I was late in as the train's were running late!!!
Boy do I wish I was back in Tenerife diving...Sarah I think you're right there has got to be more to life than this. I really did get use to the Tenerife way of life, not to mention the climate. It's also strange not having you guys around (boo hoo!!!) Unfortunately for you I think you will be seeing quite a lot of us...
Just a quick note to say thanks for last week. Most enjoyable - good diving in good company. The weather here is truly abysmal. I'm sure that makes you feel good! I've said to wifey, there is no way I'm going to spend my retirement freezing my gonads off in the UK when good weather is 4 hours away. I'm sure I can scrape enough euros together for an apartment in the sun. Roll on 2011. Maybe you'll have expanded so much, you'll need a boat bum/Gofer by then. Hope things go well. Best regards Colin
Just a line to thank you for a perfect diving holiday . From setting up the accommodation to arranging airport pick up and drop off you were just ' spot on ' . I have done many dive trips in my diving career but your business is second to none . As for the diving I have a one to ten rating of my own all were good but the final one [the mantas / wreck/ morays / and to cap it all an Atlantic ray got eleven out of ten . I don't think I,m going to top that one. Can I wish you both all the best with the business, see you next year [ with the boss , so that will make me behave] Safe diving Pete Roddam
Hi there everyone. I made it home safely after all those long hours of flying. I received the pics, thanks very much. It has been warm here but not near as warm as it was there. It was nice to get back into my own bed as always when traveling. I had a wonderful time and was glad that I found your website when searching for diving shops. We thoroughly enjoyed your company as well. All the people at home are envious of my diving stories and the tales of sitting at the little seaside café enjoying coffee between dives. I know Jordan enjoyed himself immensely. He went on & on about what a good time he had. Chris, I am endeavoring to find the story behind the flip top heads from Southpark. I will get to the bottom of it!!
After long journey we finally got home. Nice to be here. But where is the sun? And why I have to go to work tomorrow instead of going diving? If you know the answers, please let me know. Anyway, even if you don't know them, we want to thank you very, very much again for the fantastic time we had on Tenerife and particularly the time spend with you. I'll be back when I manage to work out through the photos. Best regards Jacek and the family.
Hi Sarah, Chris & Mark, Well at least I brought some sunshine back to London! Whilst work isn't too bad today, I kept looking at my watch and thinking ' oh time to be at the carpark for the mo ing pick up and then a coffee' ....'now we should be heading out of the harbor to the first dive site' ...'oh now it's a lazy lunch in the sun at Carnival' I was beginning to annoy the two guys who sit next to me!! . Thanks again for a great holiday and hope to see you again either here at the dive show or back in Tenerife. Say hi to Guni, Rob and Lee from me and wish them 'good diving' Cheers, Laurie
Dear all. A quick thank you for a most excellent weeks diving (despite the xxxx viz......ha ha!! ) we are all talking about a return visit next year rather than going to the Red Sea .........high praise indeed. Look forward to seeing you all at the dive show ,you can't miss me I'll have one of your bloody t shirts on !!!!!!!!!!! Regards Bob ps did I mention the viz was xxxx pps and that there was no fish life!!!!
Thank you for a great holiday. The diving was far better than I had dared to hope it would be. The stunning underwater topography and loads of fish were a real surprise. I've mentioned it to loads of people, but they never seem to get very excited I don't think they believe me. You definitely need to get more diver mags to do more articles on your area. But it was you, Chris and Mark ( and Marco of course - he's lush) who really made the holiday. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. You are providing a unique experience and I think you have succeeded. I haven't been anywhere where I have been so well looked after, or laughed so much! Hope to see you again, thanks a lot. Karol
Ian Bateman & Tracy Markwell UK Hi, Hope you are all ok, I'm sure you are the sun is bound to shining, shame it isn't here, as I'm sending you this note it is raining surprise surprise!! Please find enclosed a copy of the book as promised (Out of the Blue- Colin Bateman sold in aid of the ScubaTrust ) a small token of our thanks, we would both like to say we are so glad we came to Tenerife Scuba, without your time and patience we would have never made it. The extra time you gave us made a real difference. Best wishes
Martin Wright & Jennifer Sanders UK Hi Sarah, Chris and Mark, thanks very much to you all for giving us a really enjoyable time whilst in Tenerife. We thought the whole 'Tenerife Scuba' experience was excellent and would not hesitate recommending you to our friends. We would love to come back again some time but with Bonaire and El Gouna already planned it may be a while. Here's what we liked in particular. Pick ups and drop offs,Tea/Coffee on arrival at dive centre, Friendliness and professionalism of everyone, No feelings of being rushed, Excellent dive briefings followed by some superb dives, Great dive boat, Kit being washed for us each day, Informative website, Birthday card for Jen Anyway that's enough praise for one day. We look forward to seeing you again at the dive show. Please say hello to Nick and Simon for us. Hope they enjoy their try dive. Best regards Martin and Jen
Paul Moran I expect you are just about to start your working day too and probably looking forward to it slightly more than I am. The only chance of me getting wet today is if I spill my coffee or stick my head out of the window, not quite as much fun as your likely to have. Many thanks for a memorable 5 days of diving, I look forward to the next time and the rogues gallery. Paul
Terry Leahy UK Hi Chris, Hi Sarah, Just a quick note to say many thanks for some great diving and for your generosity of spirit in including me into your social circle during my visit. You made my visit a truly memorable one. Got home safe and sound if a little knackered. Hope Sarah got home safe as well (and she didn't stop off at IKEA !!). I had a lovely surprise waiting for me when I got home - I had a message from work telling me to fly up to Glasgow on the first flight the next day to look at an engine in the overhaul shop (so no rest for the wicked !) . My wife has gone to the drop zone today and hopefully she will complete her sky diving course - then maybe I can convince her to pack that in and join me scuba diving (but not too hopeful on that one ). Anyway guys one again thanks very much for everything and hope to see you again before too long. In the words of A ie , I'LL BE BACK !!"" Cheers Terry ""
Richard and Sam Miles Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you both for a great weeks diving. Sam and myself had a really good time. As I said at the time I have put 'The Rays' dive along side the South African Shark dive as the best I have ever done. You'll be pleased to hear we got back in time for our presentation in the evening, although we managed to get Ben our 5 year old to play up so were out in an hour and a half, without spending a penny. I have put a note on dive et.co.uk. I wish you well over the summer, trying to workout how to visit for a weeks diving next time. I hope the offer for dive master inte still stands as I think you have convinced Sam. Thanks again will be singing your praises on the inte et. Richard and Sam.
Hi all, Just thought that I would like you know about Tenerife Scuba, having won their compitition at LIDS and went out in September, I cannot recommend them highly enough, from organising our Cave Course to collecting us from the airport, the whole holidays was great, the nice thing about Sarah,Chris and Mark is that they treat you as people and not a money making prospect, nothing is too much trouble. The dives sites are fantastic, viz great and the Ray dives is out of this world. Keep up the great work guys will be back in September 05, meanwhile we are busy recommending you to the diving frate ity back here. Audra & Lez
Qustion - have you dived with the above centre and what are they like? What is the diving like in south Tenerife
Answer - Tenerife Scuba were absolutely excellent with their service, knowledge of the dive sites and even their after dive service. We had a wonderful holiday with them and would highly recommend them to any level of diver looking for a nice relaxing, diving holiday with very good diving. Try them out, you won't regret it !
I have also just returned 30/04/06 from a week of diving with Tenerife Scuba and echoe all of your comments above. The diving there must be one of the best kept secrets in the diving world. Of course the added bonus of a diving centre that takes care of all accommodation and logistical needs makes the whole exprerience a memorable one (thanks Helen). Chris gives some of the best dive briefings and is a martyr to the white board. Its my second time with Chris and Sarah and they even managed to get my non-diving wife to join us on one of the boat dives. For anyone wanting to experience either gentle shallow diving or some more interesting deeper dives that include wrecks, reefs and caves with an abundance of rays and other sea life, this is the place. I plan to visit again, hopefully soon. Teach how to 'lea to dive', then skills and experience will follow!
Many Many thanks Hi Sarah & Chris, Just a quick line to let you know how much I enjoyed my visit with you and Tenerife Scuba. The dives where amazing and thats a rare thing for me to say as Ive dived with Rays and sharks all over the world and my experience at Ray City was one I will remember for a time to come. The service and personal attention was second to none and at times it didnt feel like it was a business at all and after all isnt that what people really want? I will have no hesitation to book again for next year so watch out for an email from Ian or my self same time next year. Once again than you Stuart Temple IDCS 621708
Question- Looking for tip's on diving in Tenerife, were to go and who to dive with. Thanks Martin
Answer- hi Martin i just came back from Tenerife and would recommend Tenerife scuba, i contacted them at short notice and they sorted an apartment and picked me up/ dropped me off at the airport. they are very friendly (more like your best friends) have their own rib and have plenty of dive sites to keep you more than happy, Situated on the southern most tip of the island, in the Coasta Del Silencio lies the quiet fishing village of Las Galletas about a 10 minute drive from the airport and about 15 minutes drive from the lively resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas. I would say it was the best holiday I have had to date as they kept me entertained from start to finish
Hello divers - this is my first post so be gentle with replies. Just got back from 1st dive trip to Tenerife - for those that not been there thought you might like to know diving is surprisingly impressive. Lots of fish variety, interesting underwater volcanic rock formations and pretty good viz. Water was about 19-20c so need to wrap up warm( yes Iam a southe softy). We stayed in the south in small chilled resort call las galletas..saw las americas from the rib which did look mega developed - but is reputed good for wild time if thats your thing.We went with tenerife scuba who were very nice bunch of relaxed and professional people. Just finished 1st years diving so be interested for comments on other unsung places to go
Just back from Tenerife and had two days diving with Chris and Sarah at Tenerife Scuba. They were great had two days of really enjoyable diving. They've a goot sized rib and check with the other boats to ensure the dive sites are quiet and the sites did not dissappoint. They picked me up from the apartment and dropped me back almost when they said they would which my misses was particulary impressed with. Likely to go again in the next year and will definitely be booking with them again. Enjoy.
Sarah, Chris. Sorry for the delay in contacting you, Dave Julian myself and a few others from Kingsbury Divers have just come back from a bit of wreck diving in Scapa Flow. The package you sent arrived while I was away so was a very pleasant surprise when I arrived home, thank you very much. Please let me know how much i owe you for the tops. I would also like to thank you both for making our week in Tenerife so enjoyable, I particularly enjoyed Chris's low tek solution to dive site location (there must be a market for the GPS/Sonar mask). Not sure what the plans are for next year, so far we only have a weekend in Dorset and a week in Sharm on the cards. I must admit the wrecks of Gran Canaria do sound tempting, we will discuss the possibility of a club trip at our AGM on Sunday. Once again thank you both very much for looking after us, I hope you are both well and not getting too much hassle from all those annoying divers who keep interrupting your extended holiday out there. Hope to see you again soon, Love and Peace, Dave Edkins.
Hi Chris & Sarah, I was looking for a warm water dive destination that didn't involve having to troop across the M4 & M25 for 3 hours from South Wales to Gatwick and fell upon the idea of Tenerife. I did not expect lots, as heck, it's in the Atlantic isn't it. But I was amazed at the variety of diving and the superb service and convenience of the diving with Tenerifescuba. The water was 24C in places in early October, and viz a stunning 30m, Volcanic topography epic. After day 1, Sarah told me that they would arrange for the diving to get better on each day of my 4 days with them. After day 2, I asked her how that could be possible as it was an epic day. A 25m dive to a great condition wreck (the Meridian) in a challenging current, where the holds and the bridge could explored and dials observed and even the mast was intact. Then, after a relaxed lunch, the Ray feeding dive, where a 6 foot diameter Atlantic Ray joined in the fun with the Common Rays and the Fish Soup that surrounded us. Sarah did admit that later that day that was probably as good as it can get ! For the last dive we repeated the Ray dive, and we were joined by an inquisitive Turtle just to round the trip off.
Thanks Sarah & Chris for a great dive holiday, I hope to be back.
Without a doubt go to Tenerife. We have just come back from a weeks diving out there and it was one of the best trips I have ever been on (Full trip report to follow as soon as time allows) Check out www.Tenerifescuba.com who can organise all your accomadation for you at a very good rate. It really would be a first class holiday - we are going again next year!
Question- Thinking about taking the misses and our two kiddies (6 and 4) to Tenerife in Feb. 1) What's the diving like? 2) What's the place like for a family holiday. Ideally I prefer to find a nice beach where the kids can dig holes, snorkel and prod crabs in rock pools and I can eventually slip off for an hour or two under the briney. Does this sound like Tenerife? Answer- You won't find that many "nice" beaches, being volcanic the beaches are mostly black sand. There are "proper" beaches at Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, but Playa is a bit of a dump, given the sort of club reps style nightclub culture, although there authorities are apparently doing their best to curb this. Los Christianos is also a bit of dump, but less so than Playa. The diving is not at all bad, good visibility, water temp about 19 at that time of year. Lots of morays/ millions of sea urchins, rays and other stuff. At that time of year you may see Angel sharks. I have dived with 3 different centres, all of whom have been OK. The last one was Tenerife Scuba who have an excellent website, and are a very nice bunch, its run by 3 English people, Chris, his wife Sarah and friend Mark.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Sarah, Chris and Mark at Tenerife Scuba for a great two weeks holiday. Both my fiancee and I found them to be highly organised, helpful, knowledgeable safety concious and all-round good fun. Their dive briefings are spot on and what they say you will see, generally appears almost on queue - Sarah thanks for ordering the large pod of dolphins!! The Centre can organise your accomodation, collect you from the airport and your accomodation for the days diving, retu ing you at the end, has a equipment to hire; and plans the Dives to suit those onboard. The Boat is always manned when Divers are in the Water and Dives are escorted. First Aid and O2 on board with a trapeaze underneath for those wishing to hang around"" and ""soak up"" the atmosphere! Anybody who is interested in visiting Tenerife for a laid back time
We are now back in Cool Britania , and yes it is a lot cooler! Haven't yet unpacked - it's a job for tomorrow but couldn't wait to put a few images on the computer screen and send on a selection to you dive enthusiasts! It was great to meet you all, your company and the diving made it a memorable holiday for us. I'll be doing a little write-up for our Club members extolling the virtues of Tenerife and it's diving. The week produced a couple of 'firsts' for me , sightings of an Angel Shark and Pilot Whales . It was a long time since our previous visit to Tenerife , we're hoping it won't be any where near so long before the next! Keep in touch, Chris
Dear Sarah, Chris & Mark, Well we are back in a cold wet UK with our tans and great memories. Thank you all for making such a great week of diving and things for Christian and me. I don't recall ever having a better week of relaxed and enjoyable diving and there is much to recall over a pint or two down the pub with our other club members. My plan is to put together a trip for early next year if possible, but before hand I will put you in contact with anyone who may be interested in a visit this year.
Dear Sarah, Chris and Mark, Just wanted to say thanks again for a really enjoyable weeks diving and entertainment. We couldn?t have hoped for a more helpful and considerate dive centre to look after us for a week. You took us to some excellent sites and I never really expected to see so much marine life as we did. I for one will certainly be back, so on behalf of myself, Malcolm, Steve, Graham and Bob once again, thanks. Paul Cole. p.s. Sarah, The lamb in ?It?s the wolf? was very imaginatively called Lambsy
Was going to send an email last week to say thanks for everything but from the second I got back to work it didnt seem to stop. But thanks for everything, we had a great time, even though we were only there for a short time we felt relaxed and home from the start. You asked us at the start if there was anything we felt could be done better. Simon and I chatted about it and we genuinely felt that everything was perfect. I think one of things that the three of you managed best to do was make us feel part of the crowd. Rather than paying guests and that was really important to us. Do not change anything you have been doing. I have already been recommending you to anyone that will listen to me and hopefully next time we come out we will get a bit longer out there. I have to say that the rays in Neptunes Cave made the holiday for me. Incredible to know that the hardened pros (Tony) were impressed with it made it even better. It will take a long time to beat that for bestest dives! I am sure we will be out there again and we will definitely keep you informed as to where our travels (if they ever happen) will take us. Take care and good luck with what you are doing. Jo + Simon
yet the end of another week. I have truely intended to get in touch but meetings, exams etc have taken priority. I had a great time in tenerife, I,m still not sure about the island itself, it is so different from anything else: but the diving was great. I have already recommended your outfit to a colleague, he has been to Tenerife but never dived there. I would certainly consider a return trip myself, if only to convince my husband that the underwater scenery is better than the tropical zones, and would certainly choose Tenerife Scuba to provide the diving experience. I hope your girly week lived up to expectations. Thanks to you all: Chris for his care, consideration and expertise, I can honestly say that I did not have any anxieties even when I could not remember things the first time down; Mark for the exhilarating boat rides and humour, my lasting memory is of him removing his cap as he opened the throttle: and yourself for faultless organisation, great company and willingness to put youself out to make our stay so easy. I was really impressed with the accomodation and the whole trip was great value for money. Here's to the future. Libby
Hi all Just thought i'd say thanks for a fabulous holiday and for looking after me so well - I had a really good time & my return to reality has been a bit of a bump. (Wigan for 9.30 on monday am) Diving was marvellous - plenty of fish, and I've bored andrew rigid with my dvd already. And my barracuda photo has been installed as my desktop. (On that subject Sarah, can't find the song as yet but i'm still looking.) Have been looking at flights from doncaster, might be in touch for a weekend visit over the winter! Take care love Jane
Hi Chris, Thanks again for the loan of the camera. It's actually sunny today here but only 7 degrees when I went out this mo ing. We would all like to thank you, Sarah, and Mark again for a really great 12 days of diving holiday. The organisation was flawless. Not something that is easily achieved with the complexity of logistics you were faced with. We did a lot in a small period of time but never felt rushed and always relaxed. The attention to personal service, as ever, was superb. And the diving was fantastic. The only better dive holiday I've ever had in my more than 10 years of experience was in the Maldives before the El Nino and that's only marginally true and at a lot more than three times the cost! I would much rather have three of these any time and with only 4 hours in the plane it's a no brainer. Regards Ian (Tin Tin)
Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you both for a great weeks diving. Sam and myself had a really good time. As I said at the time I have put 'The Rays' dive along side the South African Shark dive as the best I have ever done. You'll be pleased to hear we got back in time for our presentation in the evening, although we managed to get Ben our 5 year old to play up so were out in an hour and a half, without spending a penny. I have put a note on divernet.co.uk. I wish you well over the summer, trying to workout how to visit for weeks diving next time. I hope the offer for dive master internship still stands as I think you have convinced Sam. Thanks again will be singing your praises on the internet. Richard and Sam.
Just completed another excellent package with Sarah, Chris and crew. This time it was a long weekend spring break, flew in very early Friday, flew home Monday evening and still had time for 8 quality dives and 24 hours pre-flight off-gassing! (Not to mention the odd tapas and carafe of vino tinto!) Already plotting a similar December pre-Christmas replay! Many thanks for all your hard work making it all happen, Chris Tudor
Sorry I've left it so long to reply - having such fun at work, I've hardly thought about holidays! Thanks for a brilliant week. Tenerife would not be my normal holiday destination and I don't think I had very high expectations, but your hospitality, the location, accomodation and, most important, the diving was fantastic. I won't forget my first dive to the steps in a hurry! All the little extras you provided - like loaning the camera, hiring the car and suggesting good places to eat made for a really enjoyable holiday - so thanks again. Regards to Mark and Chris
