Hoi Aqua-Marina,

Thanks for your great help. In the beginning I was very nervous to dive on my own (without my husband).

But with your help I had three wonderful dives. You were always there to help me and to answer all my questions.

I had a good and save feeling during the dives and had a lot of fun and laughs! Thanks again! Hope to see you back, but then with my husband!!

Greetings Marlous Fokkelman-Swart

Hello to everyone in aqua-marina

As a happy customer I will pass your details to the club. The experience of diving with the Turtles was out of this world, everybody in aqua marina was friendly. Therefore next time I will go to Tenerife I will see you again.

Hello all my friends at Aqua-Marina!!!

Thanks for really pushing me to achieve the Divemaster certification albeit I had to rest for a entire week in Switzerland after I returned from finishing the course at Aqua-Marina. I will never try to do a Tired Diver Tow again four times!!!

You guys really put me through the wringer :)) for sure and challenged me all the way. I certainly realized that I am getting older although I prefer to perish the thought when it arises. In hindsight, I would not likely do the Divemaster course in nine days (one for theory exams and eight for skills, practical applications, etc.). I will leave that to the 20 - 35 year-old guys (Steve-Divemaster candidate there now) who are reasonably fit. I think at least three weeks or a two-month internship would be more feasible and less stressful.

I gained tremendous insight into the "inner sanctum" of Aqua-Marina. Wow, it was indeed quite a different experience working on the inside as a Divemaster candidate versus being a typical (Just diving, OW, AOW, or Rescue course) customer. Such a humbling experience making coffee and tea for the Instructors and getting to help clean the equipment and the center in the evening. Okay maybe nine days was enough!

Really, truly thanks. In between the barking of orders (Ray, Paul, Carl, Andy and sometimes Benny --love you guys ...seriously) and the seeming chaos of it all, there is actually a method to all the madness. It is a dive center and you guys have to deal with so many variables. "Speed is of the essence" as Benny reminded me although I think I only increased my equipment setup time by 20 seconds by the end and perhaps helping setup the customers`equipment 15 seconds faster.

Well, you guys gave me a lot of s..t for sure (especially when I had to lead the dive with "certified divers"-- James, Steve, and Benny--Oh my God) and I dished the s..t back too sometimes. You`re a great team and I wish you all the best for sure. I will come back again someday and just dive for relaxation...no courses...no specialties...no certifications, etc. The Divemaster certification is my final certification. I think I am too old a fart to continue. I will just stick to what I do best....finance.

Ciao, ciao

P.S. Hi to everyone else - Emma, Madge, Ines, Lucy and whomever else I may be forgetting.

I would like to say a BIG thank you to everyone at Aqua-Marina for the fantastic dives we experienced with you whilst on our hols in Tenerife. We especially appreciate the patience and help that Steve and Andy gave to Ollie whilst he did his qualifying dives for his Junior Scuba Diver exam.

His fondest memory is his dive at El Puertito swimming with the turtles. It was a brilliant experience for all 3 of us, and Lucy’s D.V.D. makes sure we will always have those memories to see for years to come. Well done and thank you to all the staff at Aqua-Marina.

My diving experience with Auqa-marina was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the equipment I hired was in good condition and the boat dives were excellent! We saw lots of interesting fish and also saw a Dolphin on my last dive! Excellent! Thanks again to a great team at Aqua-Marina, I’d definitely dive with you again!

Hoi allemaal!

We vonden het erg leuk om bij jullie te duiken en we hebben het zeer naar ons zin gehad :) dus dit zullen we zeker iedereen laten weten. De temperatuur in Nederland viel gelukkig wel mee maar het regende keihard de volgende dag, dus het was wel even wennen.

Oja; ik heb gisteren de dvd bekeken en deze is erg mooi geworden; klasse; en heel leuk gedaan met the A-team :P Namens ons nog heel veel succes gewenst dit jaar; en als we weer in Tenerife zijn komen we zeker bij jullie duiken!

Groetjes uit Haarlem,

Hi and thanks for another wonderful diving holiday.

Sorry I didn't get round to saying this sooner, but I have been really busy since getting back to the UK (which is why my holidays are important to me).

Each time I've stayed with Aqua-Marina I have been really impressed with the friendly service and high standards to which people are taught and guided. I've watched your instructors and DM's teaching and they are really good, as they are when guiding dives.

I've been diving for many years and as a PADI staff instructor have seen very few dive businesses around the world that manage to be as friendly and helpful without missing out on safety standards, conversely I've seen many that are officious and very safe! What impresses me at Aqua-Marina is that you get this friendly and safety mix so right; maybe it's because of the number of brilliant staff you have working there (too many to list all by name)

I look forward to coming again later in the year for another relaxing happy holiday

Jon.

To everyone at Aqua-Marina Oxygene,

Thanks for a great week’s diving last week, I had a great time and really enjoyed my first experience of open water diving.

I would like to say a special thank you to Andy for getting me through my open water dives, and making them a very enjoyable and interesting experience; and also to both to both of the trainee Dive Masters, who also helped ease me through my dives, as well as helping make them as fun and interesting as they were, but I was amazed by the friendliness of everyone, staff and other divers, at the centre, who made me feel so comfortable and welcome, so thank you to everyone.

Thanks once again,

Alex Berry
