Autumn 2006

Hi Steve/Madge,

I wanted to thank you for a great set of dives while I was over there. Good diving is when you have good visibility (which we did), good weather (which we did), a working boat (which we did for most of the time) and interesting sites (which we did). GREAT diving however is when you do all of this with great people and that's something you have at Aqua Marina. I love coming over there. Please pass on my best to Neil (learn to fix boats or read manuals), Rhona (stop smoking), Matt (should be on tv), Andy (get him some singing lessons cos I'll never enjoy "Amore" again), TUNA (the human engine), Emma (I take it she qualified !!!!), Mike (I'll never ask him if I need rescued).. and of course the lovely Diana (she's a doll). I don't have any photos that can beat Sam Bean's (in fact I don't have any photo's that can beat Mr. Bean's) but I have a couple that remind me of some great diving and as promised I have attached them for you. And just in case you need reminding of who I am .. I included my David Hasselhoff impression. Look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

p.s. Tell Rhona to try Sea Kayaking the next time she is in Scotland. Scotland may not be great for most things but for this it is perfect.

We had a great time diving in Tenerife, no small in part due to the wonderful team at Aqua Marina, all you guys took very good care of us and made sure we did the best dives we could in the four days we spent diving in the beautiful Atlantic. You promised us rays and turtles, and we got them! Plus eels and roncadores and all the other beautiful fish and the wrecks and everything else. Great dive centre, organised, safe, relaxed and friendly. We would recommend Aqua Marina any day!

Ann & Mikhail, Malta

Thanks for a wonderful dive! It was only my third dive and I had previously dived with an experienced close friend, I was very nervous about diving on my own but you all made me feel so welcome and relaxed making the dive one I will always remember. Thank you

Vicki, UK

Just a brief note to say how much I enjoyed taking my NITROX course with you. Facilities are excellent and staff very professional and friendly. Dives were very good with plenty of fish life. Special thanks to Mats for his relaxed but thorough style that made the course fun and enjoyable and to Tudor for rescuing my snorkel! My only regret is that I was only on holiday for a week but I plan to return next year. Kind Regards,

Andy UK

Hi all, I just wanted to send a quick email to say thank you to you all for the great diving last week. Many thanks to Diana for recommending such amazing sites, i will definitely be doing Neptune's cave next time, along with my favourites, Alcuario and Meridian. Sadly it will probably be another year before i get chance to come back and do it all again, but i hope to spend at least a week diving next time. Big thank you to the dolphin whisperer Andy, and my great guides who made the diving fun and memorable. Take care, safe diving

P.S. Diana keep an eye on the Tuna, especially around the Meridian!!

Kari B, UK

I would like to tell you how pleased and impressed I was with your centre. My 11 year old son, Matthew, was the one diving and everyone was so professional and yet so friendly that I feel inspired to try it myself next time! I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to anyone visiting the island and as I have relatives there we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Hello from Denmark Lea and I had a great time diving with you. Our entry in your guest book is a little delayed, but a lighting bolt hit our house the weekend after we got back from Tenerife. Our Internet connection and computer is a little sensitive to direct hits by lightning bolts J.Anyway we just wanted to say thanks for 22 great dives, and say thanks to Mats for trying to make divers out of us in the advanced course. Mats did such a good job that we will start to dive in Denmark, first dive is October 13th. If it is to cold we always know where to go. We are trying to find money and time for a small December trip, so maybe we will see you soon.

Best regards,Lea and Michael

Thanks for the great dives. Very professional, safe and best of all great fun. Second time here and would recommend to anyone. Hope to see you soon. Best Regards

Greetings from "Sunny Scotland"!!! NOT. I received my PADI id card this morning and it reminded me of the great time I had doing my "scuba diver" on 25/26 Aug. I have been on the PADI website many times now and have logged all my details and dives where I even managed to give you guys a plug. Diving here at home does not seem so appealing but I am going to give it a try. I am hooked !!!! I would just like to say a BIG THANKS to you all for making me feel very welcome and for making it all fun. A special thanks to my fellow scot and superb teacher - Doug for keeping me safe. Cheers and give the turtles my love X

Susan Gailey, Scotland

Diving with Aqua Marina was GREAT! The staff was really professional and kind. I didn't expect that I saw turtles, and different kind of moray's in the Atlantic ocean, but it was really great and for sure I will go back to Tenerife for the diving! Greetings to the staff from Paul! (the dutch guy)

Paul, The Netherlands

Many thanks for the great dives and great time I had with Aqua-Marina. I have been diving in a few places, but never felt such a friendly and professional athomsphere before. I liked the complete briefing before dives, specially the drawings and the magnets! I'll highly recommend the base to every Hungarian diver (and not just). See you next year.

Andrea, Hungary

Hi to all the gang - Andy, Max, Dianne, Rhona, Doug, Neil not forgetting Ollie Just to thank you for some great diving at the best padi site in the Canaries! Excellent supervision good equipment great dive sites but also important a great team making the experience wonderful fun See you all soon.

Martin, UK

Once again… well for the 3rd running… The Aqua-Marina team have again exceeded my expectations of how much fun diving in Tenerife can be. Special thanks to Andy and Vertigo (Oli) and the whole team for a cracking memorable 10 dives and I can't wait to return in March next year for more. Keep up the good work and for anyone considering diving in Tenerife, these really are the team to go with. Keep it going and once again, thanks.

Darren, UK

Hi all, Just a note to say thank you so much - we had a great time and loads of fun. We arrived home to our advanced cards already on the door mat so this completed a great holiday and dive experience. You are so friendly and a great team.keep up the good work. Hope to see you all again in May 2007

Hello dear readers!

From the first moment on we felt very well with aqua marina. all staffmembers are very competently, friendly and helpful. the divespots are very beautifully selected.we were very content with everything and if we should land again on tenerife, we will dive in any case with the girls and boys of aqua marina !

Diana and Lars (Germany)

Hi All.

Many thanks for the great diving! Not only was the in water experience better than I had expected of Tenerife but the out of water experience was also great - thanks to Aqua Marina. My intended 2 or 3 dives became 7 thanks to the pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. Such a friendly bunch! Even the staff who I didn't have much involvement with went out of their way to make me feel welcome and have a chat or make a cup of tea. That, coupled with the fact that my fellow customers were also enjoying their diving, created an excellent atmosphere. I will most certainly return the only question is how soon can I get there.

Regards, Paul, UK

Hi all at Aqua Marina,

Thanks for the friendly atmosphere during our E-mail exchanges and our time diving with you. It's a pity Tom couldn't get 100% in his NITROX course I suppose 94% will have to do. You've got a great diving centre going there, nice and relaxed and friendly with a big emphasis on safety. We will definitely be paying you another visit in the future. Thanks for a great time - hope Paul's got over the trauma of teaching NITROX to the old codgers. Hope to see you again before very much longer.

Hi Madge and all… Thanks for the mail and for a cracking set of dives, especially those with Steve, Paul and Andy but they were all great. It was nice to meet the new team members. I have found my video of the 2002 dive at Ronc del Faro and sure enough there is a young, cheeky chappie called Oliver with nicely brushed hair and a blue wetsuit diving with us! The best bit is where he gets back into the RIB at the end of the dive. There is also a young, blond lady with long hair, Rhona! Oh and my stomach was smaller. Well the Mullah must get ready to queue at Gatwick on Sunday morning. At least my hand luggage will be light. Hope to see you all shortly and hope the new boat arrives soon. Who will drive it FIRST?... Best wishes to you all

Peter, UK

Fantastic dive centre, everyone was very pleasant as well as professional in their approach. The dives were first class and the guys went out their way to ensure there was variety in the dive sites. The family also had a snorkelling day which was terrific, the boat handler and guide were superb with the children making it a wonderful day out. Well done everyone involved will definitely dive with you again.

Jim Martin, UK

Hello to All at Aqua Marina, Six wonderful dives including turtles, rays, eels, and all manner of fish. Super professionals enabling amateurs like me to have serious fun. Hope to see you all soon.

Maurice, UK

Thank you so much for a great experience. It was my first time scuba diving and I felt a bit worried but it was wonderful! I will definitely come back for another dive or maybe even do the open water stage next. Thanks again! Hope to see you in October. I will send you copies of our photographs.
