Hi!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone there, got home and back to boring normality depressingly quickly but had a great time diving with you all. Hope i can come back soon as you were all so good to me and taught me so much. To anyone that is lucky enough to have the chance to dive with you i say grab it because no other team will be as kind and patient as yours while still enjoying the amazing sites you visit.

Thanks again and hope to see you all soon

Thanks to all the team at Aqua Marina for a very memorable diving experience in Tenerife. Special thanks to our instructors Paul (main instructor) James and Bea, who helped my 12 year old son pass the PADI scuba diver course, and me a 42 year old novice pass the PADI open water course.

We booked with aqua Marina thanks to the professional looking web site outlining the centre and then the excellent response from Ines to my questions/queries, and once in Tenerife at the centre, the facilities and the level of instruction we received were as excellent as the web site suggested. I can’t recommend enough.

Diving with the turtles at El Puertito was amazing along with the wreck dive at El Condesito.

When we next come back to Tenerife we will definitely dive again with the team at Aqua Marina.

Thanks Paul and Adam

Hey guys,

We're back in rainy 12 degree Belfast but I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for our dives last week.

I can't speak highly enough of Andy and how well he looked after my 11 year old son, both on his discover scuba course and the open water dive. My son loved his dives and will definitely continue diving as a result of Andy's patience, quiet professionalism and ability to pitch the teaching at exactly the right level.

As a qualified diver, I was impressed with your approach to my initial queries by email and this opinion was reinforced by how you treated me in person. Your friendly welcome and approachable professional attitude is to be commended.

Ines, James, Bea & Emma, not to mention "old big head" (sorry Paul, they made me do it!), made us feel at home with you.

Your gear was well maintained & the air was clean & pure. I would be very happy to dive with you again and would recommend you without a second thought.

Thanks again,

Graham

Dear All,

I would like to thank all the team at Aqua Marina in their professional and enthusiastic approach to the diving I did with them. They accommodate all my wishes which lead to a very enjoyable diving experience over the 14 days of diving. I recommend then to any one thinking of diving from Las Americas district and have already forwarded the Web link to interested parties in my club and friends.

Many thanks

Once again, thank you all for making Mary & I most welcome, looking after me so well, & giving me my best ever holiday in Tenerife (Mary said I was so high). I have forgotten what it feels like to carry my own gear! Diving with you is so relaxed & so much fun, but no one could take safety more seriously, as I saw on my last dive to La Caletta Reef (thanks to Emma & my beautiful dive buddy Bea - lets dive together again in September -Please!.

I suppose the most memorable dives were the 1:1 with Ines (very honored!).El Condesito with Nitrox Teacher Andy, with my first visit into the hold the big Fireworm & so many Rays including Mother & baby sleeping & the one I nearly knelt on - giving me a fright & everyone else a good laugh. El Aquario with Emma & Ben ( I had dived with his parents when we were doing our AOW at Aquamarina together) - it started with a turtle swimming past me as we descended the anchor line looking down at the huge Rays circling the divers who were down first & moving in between them - it just kept that up. And finally La Caletta Reef with Emma & Bea in a "challenging" current with the "huge" Scorpion fish & the Roncadores, you find so many shoals of these that just swimming through them seems ordinary, so I stayed stationary in their way & they just swam around me.

It was great to cope with the conditions & to feel that with your training & encouragement my diving is starting to get better. Let me not forget Paul, for mixing my Nitrox, & showing me how he did it, & strong-man Ray, who seems to regard carrying 2 sets of gear normal! Sorry to those I forgot to mention.

Thank you once again. See you in September.

Philip & Mary.

Hello

I was really keen to go diving while in Tenerife, so after been pointed in the direction of the Aqua Marina dive school I booked a couple of dives. It had been almost 2 years since my last dive so I was a bit nervous about getting back in the water. However, everyone was really welcoming at the school and the instructor went through everything I needed to know and ensured that I felt completely comfortable with all the safety procedures and hand signals before I entered the water. We went through all the skills under water and went on to really enjoy the dive. The boat dive was also fantastic fun and really exceeded my expectations. Swimming with the turtles was definitely the highlight of my holiday!

The whole team at Aqua Marina were extremely professional, friendly and very welcoming. A big thanks to you all for such a great dive experience! Definitely recommended and I hope to be back in the future :)

I’d really like to thank everyone at Aqua Marina for a great weeks diving. The dive centre could not have been any more helpful, and particularly with the support for my AP Inspiration Vision Re-Breather which is obviously far from main stream in Tenerife still. Sofnolime, bailout cylinder, O2 and Diluent Gas & Cylinders, all provided at a reasonable cost, especially when you consider the logistics and cost of getting these to the island !

The diving was great fun, relaxed and interesting, and it was well worth bringing my YBOD with me, considering the curiosity I had from Turtles, Dolphins and divers alike. The clarity of the water was just as breathtaking as it was 20 years ago when I first dived at Tenerife, absolutely gin clear.

The staff are all welcoming and fun and I enjoyed the friendly banter and leg pulling, which made me feel this was more like a dive club, rather than a dive centre, and I felt right at home.

The Equipment was excellent, superb boats, conveniently located and good wet and dry facilities at the centre a very short walk down to the beach and the waiting boats.

A big thanks to Paul (bulldog chewing on a thistle ;-)), Andy, James (picasso he aint), Emma, Captain Ben Skinny Legs, Ines, Lucy, Ray, and the very beau Bea, who hauled around her own body weight in dive gear like it was nothing!

We will be back! Cheers and thanks again!

Best Regards

Hi Gang,

just a few lines to thank you for another great diving holiday. We had some memorable dives again, not least a wonderful experience with dolphins near the Palm Mar fish farms. Absolutely amazing. I have been looking at the video clips I took and wow they are mind blowing. I have seen dolphins out there before but never so close and for so long.

Of course Paul arranged it. He has a dolphin hot line. I have done quite a few dives with you guys now but the experience never pales, you get better and better and it shows by all the returning customers you have. Its great to meet old dive pals again.

Thanks again, I am looking forward to September already.

Hi guys,

Many thanks for looking after me recently. It was great to get a few dives in, especially getting to see the turtles and the dolphins of course! It was great to see the video on your website - well done Ines!

Thanks to Ray, Andy & Paul for watching my back down there, and also to James & Bea - you made me feel very welcome. I hope the rest of your Divemaster training goes well for you both.

Thanks again to you all. My only disappointment was not being able to enjoy more dives... maybe next year. All the best with the business - continue to enjoy your work!

Regards from Ireland,

Hi Guys

Just a quick email to thank you for the diving last week. Your diving centre was run with the professionalism/safety that you expect from a German run centre but was mixed with a real friendly “have a laugh, relax and enjoy” attitude. The mix is just what you need for diving.

The dive sites were excellent and I lost my cherry with the rib boat diving. I only wish I had managed more dives but I will be back for more dives with you guys the next time I am on the island.

All the best and keep having fun.
