TESTIMONIALS

If we don’t get another chance to dive with Global Dive before we leave I just wanted to thank you all so much for helping me get into scuba diving and offering me such incredible experiences in something I know I will continue for the rest of my life. All the certification we did through Global Dive was wonderful and hopefully I have a chance to make it back to New Zealand at some point later in my life.

Thanks for a great experience on the Advanced PADI course
last weekend.

Feedback (Harry)
From the pool session the week prior Harry showed a great ability to balance patience, encouragement and empathy with the pool participants.

On the weekend Harry seemed to always be aware that he was the representative of Global Dive and handled himself professionally. He was again very encouraging and patient on the course.  I loved the course, the diving and the great bunch of people. I learnt a lot and realised how much more there is to learn. I would be happy to promote the course to friends and family.

Hi Global Dive Guys-Simon Andrew Anna and Alex,

Great Open Water Advanced and I learnt so very much…..the dry suit eventually proved it's worth but my trim and buoyancy control need work!!!

Thank you for all your help Simon and Alex you have been very professional with your knowledge and safety briefs. I have found there is a huge gulf in teaching levels and competencies from organisation to organisation and even from instructor to instructor. You can be sure your standards are amongst the best and you should be proud of that.

Hi Russ and Anna,

Thanks for an amazing weekend, as much as we are exhausted I did really enjoy it and can now dive with the family on more dives. :)

Cheers Carol and Mike

 

Hello!!

I hope you and the whole global dive team are doing really well!

I'm just in Okinawa (of all places!) finally doing my Divemaster. We started an open water course yesterday and it brought back memories of my course. I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing you were through all my courses, but especially my open water. I still think of how you would approach a situation when ever some one asks me a question or something happens and I haven't found a dive centre or instructors as good as you! I really appreciate all the effort and genuine enthusiasm you both put into my training and making diving such an awesome experience.

I can't wait to come back and dive with you guys and I am definately going to wait to do my instructors with you so I can be taught by the best!

Dear Andrew and Anna
On behalf of me and everyone else on the AOW course I would just like to say a big thank you for an enjoyable and interesting trip. You did an amazing job making the trip organised and course work engaging, and most importantly ensured we all had fun! I know we all had a once in a lifetime experience and thanks again for all the help and guidance.
Josh

Dear Anna and Andrew
Thank you so much for all your help last weekend and leading up to it. You made sure everything was organised and ran smoothly and at the same time had so much fun. You are amazing instructors and made the whole course so enjoyable whilst we were learning too.
Thanks Sam

We just completed the Advanced Adventurer Dive course with Anna as our dive instructor, and it was an absolute game-changer! Anna’s calm and clear communication style made every session a breeze, and she has a knack for making learning enjoyable and fun. During our dives, Anna’s patience and encouragement never wavered, boosting our confidence and helping make us safer divers (including those of us who have quite a bit of experience). Highly recommend doing your dive courses with Anna for a great experience!
 

Andrew, Thank you so much for your patience and guidance over our dive course. It was so awesome to have someone of your expertise as an instructor and I enjoyed every minute of the trip! Hoping for many dive trips like this in the future! Cheers Jack

Andrew, Thank you soooooo much for being our instructor for the dive course. It was teh coolest experience and most fun I've ever had diving!!!
Thank you
