I have just arrived home in sunny (but chilly) Aberdeen, and already looking forward to returning to Tenerife in October and diving with you again. Hopefully I will have time to join you for a couple of beers next time - my shout! Thank you for making the diving an enjoyable experience.

We are newly qualified AOW divers and found the dive sites to be perfect for our level. Lots to see (Turtles, Angel Sharks, Stingrays, Eels and more) and at relatively low levels - our best dives were around 12-15m. The sites were 30minutes by RIB at most and the water temp of 19oC in March allowed 45-50 minute dives, by which time our air was running out anyway. We had most of your staff as guides throughout our week there and found them all very friendly, helpful and reassuringly attentive underwater. Your equipment was of a good standard (we hire all our equipment to save lugging it round the globe) and your prices made you competitive. Thank you for a most enjoyable week - if we come back to Tenerife, we'll see you again.

Hi to all at Aqua-Marina ? Killian and I just wanted to say a big thank you for some great diving and great craic (that?s Irish!) with all the Aqua-Marina crew. Even though we hadn?t been diving since getting our PADI qualification in Lanzarote eighteen months ago, Mats helped us build our confidence on the first dive and ensure we remembered all the essential skills to get us back underwater comfortably and safely. We really loved all the dives sites and we liked the El Puertito dive so much we went twice to meet the turtles who turned up both times on cue! We got some really great turtle-photos! And even though the rays did not show up on our last dive at Playa Paraiso, Big Ray (?I really hate the cold?) more than made up for them with his Dutch sense-of-humour and larger-than-life presence. I hope his dry suit never leaks! Special thanks to Mats, Ray, Ines, Rhona, Steve, Emma and Emma and a very special thanks from Killian to Paul for the extra air on his second-last dive!! All the Aqua-Marina crew were really professional and great fun to be with. We're already planning our next holiday in Tenerife and we will definitely take our PADI Open Water Diver course with you guys at Aqua-Marina when we come back. For now we are just adjusting to the thermal shock of going from 35 degrees C in Tenerife to 3 degrees C in Ireland overnight, consoled by great memories of parrot fish, cuttlefish, angel sharks and turtles and a wonderful time with the Aqua-Marina team.
Thanks again and see you soon . . . Arthur and Killian, Ireland
Thanks to all at Aquamarina for some exceptional diving last week - especially to Rhona (Roncadores and Palm Mar Wall), Ines (El Puertito) and Ray (El Meridian and Palm Mar Cave) for telling me what I saw, and to Ray again for removing the pink clips. Thanks to Mats, Ines and Paul for driving the boat and helping me back onto it. Belated thanks to Mats for taking me through the advanced course in 2006 (Carlsberg don?t make dive instructors, but if they did ?.). Look forward to seeing you all plus Neil and Emma again soon.
Kieran, Ireland
Hi Neil Thanks for the great diving last week - Please pass my thanks on to all the dive staff I met and dived with. I had a great time and have a few photos to remind me ? the rays didn?t come out too well but there are some others I thought you might like to see.
All the best Jeremy, UK
Thanks to all at Aqua-marina for another BRILLIANT holiday. Sat my PADI Open Water Certificate course with Mats and Paul and cannot say enough for the professional approach to training. I was very impressed that not only did the team make sure that you had adequate knowlege to pass the exams they also ensured you understood why the exam question answers were important to your enjoyment and safety. 1st class instructors and equipment. Back in April for the advanced
all the best Ally, Scotland
It was great to meet everyone at Aqua Marina. All of my previous diving outside the UK has been in Mallorca where apart from one occasion I have been the only Brit on the boat (including dive guides) so it was really refreshing to have someone to talk to both in the dive centre & on the boat. I thought that the whole set up at Aqua Marina was excellent, the dive guides were all enthusiastic and promoted confidence in their clients. It was the first time that I had dived in over 2 years but having done a familiarisation shore dive with Neil on the Wednesday my confidence was restored and I really enjoyed the boat dives over the rest of the week. I have never dived with turtles or seen large rays before so that was a new experience as well. Hope to see you all again in the near future.

Hi guys, Made it home safe and sound to the UK, all rain, cold and dark at 3.30!! Reality sucks. We both had a real good time diving with you again. The staff as ever were great, we couldnt have wished for a better service and your whole set up strikes as very professional and just works as a 5 star centre should. Just got to pay for everything now and get ready for christmas. Hope everyone at Aqua Marina has a fantastic time over the holiday period and we look forward to seeing you all again some time soon. All best wishes

Hi guys!!!! We wanted to let you know what a good time we had. It was fab and when I showed the pics to my best friend she said " you got them off the internet!" It was so fab and we had such a cool time. Have Mike and Neil topped up their tans enough yet??? A question to Ray... How are the turtles? We'll see you again for more fab dives soon.

Hi all you over there in Teneriffe! We spent great holidays: nice hotel, good weather, lots of fun, but the best of all was the diving with the team from aquamarina! Sorry, my english is not good enough to express all impressions and feelings, but believe me when I say, that everytime I think of YOU and diving with you it makes me smile for hours! I'm looking forward to next year! Greetings to all of you! P.S.: Thanks a lot for not throwing away my swimsuit! Honestly: I didn't really forget it - but I thought it was a good idea to have a second reason to return!
Sandra, Germany

Oly ( ralph ), Germany
Hi diving team of Aqua-marina, Great thanks for your mail. The trip back was easy and we are back in the cold Germany right now. Today in the morning I talked with Olly (Ralph) and he said we must flight back as fast as we can (The best is we do it tomorrow). The extreme impressions from the diving's (perfect organized by your team) are burned in my brain. The first diving --- a fantastic highlight, not possible to top, the world in front of Tenerife is really great ---- The second diving --- the first diving is to top, in another way with other highlights ---- The third diving ---.... We have seen soo much but we know that we haven't seen all, so definitely we must come back :-)) Please give a lot of greetings to your team, especially to Ray, Emma and your crazy guy. (Willy)
Best Regards, Uli Ramm, Germany
Hi friends at aqua-marina We are now sound and save back in Copenhagen. We had also this year some wonderful days at Tenerife. We especially remember the turtle dive. It was fantastic to see these magnificent animals so close. We must come back and take some photos.vThanks to Mia, Mats and rest of the aqua-marina team.
Daniel and Johannes, Denmark
Hi All, I just wanted to say a big thanks for some great diving especially my last dive with Ema at Playa Paraiso. Great vis, eagle and Atlantic rays, cute octopus and a very cool Canarian Rock Lobster. A perfect dive to complete a great holiday. As usual all the team were welcoming, good fun and I do hope it is not too long until we are back over there in the sun, sea and surf and blowin' some bubbles. Please remind Ray to let me have that info on Wing BC's. Stay safe. All the best,
Nik (Janet and Henry), UK
Hi Guys Just a quick message to say "THANK YOU". It was the first time off a rib and I can tell you we weren't looking forward to that experience but as promised by Emma we wouldn't have a problem. So for all of you out there who haven't had the pleasure of rib diving its no problem honest!!!!! We both had a fab time and have decided that it takes a special kind of person to be a guide (ie they are all mad!!!!!). The vis was fantastic and the dives were great. Thanks for all your help in arranging everything. Looking forward to coming to dive with you again next year.
Nicki & Gary, UK
Just returned from diving with the lovely people at Aqua-Marina and we had the time of our lives. I did my Advanced Open Water with a brill instructor called Mike. He put me at ease and made it very enjoyable. Lee was also doing his advanced and what a great buddy and a true gentleman. We had such fun. Met some lovely people Marina,Geoff,Dave and Adam. Kev did 12 dives while we were there, make sure you book Barranco del Agua as you will meet a very large groper. (Ray likes to kiss him!) He comes very close. Our dive master on this one was the lovely Rhona - sorry Rhona for nearly giving you a heart attack when I removed my Reg but I bit off part of my mouthpiece and thought it's better out than in! Neptunes cave was great also . Had a swim through with Emma and Kev. There were glass eye fish and lots of trumpets. Thank you Ray and Mats for looking after me on the boat- Don't think I have sea legs yet, but next year might be easier when we come back. I have already booked my stance on the big boat not CHUCHO! We cant wait to come back next year to see you all again, this includes Loopy Lou (Emma) she is great fun and as daft as a brush but also a great diver. Hope Paul is brushing up with his Scottish so he can understand Kev. Mike,Mats,Ray,Emma,Rhona,Paul Thanks for everything. Congratulations Neil and Mia for your forthcoming arrival. C u Next year
Edith and Kev, Scotland
Hi, all at Aqua-Marina, Really enjoyed my recent dives with you in Los Cristianos (Sept 07). I felt very welcomed as a lone diver!! (on hols with non divers) and very impressed by the professionalism of the dive centre. Thanks for the humour (Ray etc). Hope to see you all sometime next year. x
