Hello dear Davyjones Team,

back in Fuerteventura with loads of nice memories and back for work at Deep Blue. We had a great time with you guys and would like to thank everybody in your team. Special thanks to Eduardo who took so good care of us together with Hector and Uwe. Please attached two pictures for you so that you don´t forget us ;-) Again, thank you very much and hopefully we can welcome you one day here in Fuerteventura at Deep Blue.

Thanks for a great day last Monday. We really enjoyed our dives, and thought that the day was run very professionally and safely, and the dive instructors were fantastic. Thanks Debbie and Rebecca PS what was the name of the shark we saw please. (It was an Angel Shark.. Brian)

My husband and I could not a dreamed of a better diving experience! All those from the Davy Jones crew that we met were warm, friendly and professional. Andy was beyond fabulous -- it's been awhile since I did my last dives and he was incredibly patient, encouraging and did it all with good humour and FUN! Kudos also go to Matt, Hector, Eduardo, Brian and Marilyn. And, the dive sites were #1! Thanks for a brilliant time!

Arrived home safely this morning although very very tired! Very surprised indeed to find my EFR and Rescue Diver cert cards waiting for me on my doormat - that's a first! They usually take at least a month to come through when they get sent to Bristol! I've really enjoyed diving with Davy Jones - Andy is a brilliant instructor - just a shame I couldn't do more dives during the second week of my holiday (I was getting a bit fidgety having to sit on the sunbeds all day). More than likely I'll be back to Gran Canaria, but don't know when, but will definitely be diving with you guys when I do. Take care Suzanne

Thank you Everyone once again for 6 fantastic diving experiences. It´s my second time here and I definately want to come back again. Brian, Andy, Annette, Eduardo and everyone else were patient and professional. I´ve seen my first eel (moray) & my first stingray (x5).

Thanks for the couple of dives I had with your people in July this year. Eduardo and Guy made the dives good fun and most enjoyable. The young boy Daryl, who went on his first open water dive with his dad, yourself and Guy still talks about his first open water experience. Do you by any chance, still have any of the underwater photos you took on the day? It would have been the afternoon of 20th July. If you manage to find any could you please email me a copy for our club website. Thanks Bill...

Hi Brian & Team, Just a short email to say thanks very much for the great dives! The information given and briefing prior to each dive were excellent as was the knowledge of the various marine life and where to locate them. Having watched the relentless trawl on Taurito beach each day, I was very pleased I chose a professional dive centre! I will certainly recommend you be the first dive centre to contact for all who want some great dives in Gran Canaria. Thanks Again

Did dive before in Ibiza, but we were basically thrown in the water. I really enjoyed today and am very pleased about the 'relaxing' way of teaching. Keep up the good work!

Having dived in the UK decided to accompany my son on introduction to diving. As a diver and a parent the team was very reassuringly safe. Pleased with the way Brian and the others dealt with my son. I found I could relax and enjoy the dive. Many thanks

Was really scary at first but when I got used to the breathing technique I started to calm down and enjoy it. Brian was really patient and comforting, he was a big help to the experience to make it that bit better. thanx

My son and I undertook the 4 qualifying Open Water dives required on 7th-8th July 2007 following our confined water dives and tests in the UK. What a place to choose! All our thanks to both Brian and Andy along with Brians wife and daughter who had to put up with us as we fumbled our way through! You made our dives an absolute joy and the patience you showed us was very gratefully received. I can't recommend Davy Jones Diving highly enough - and what a marine reserve - beautiful!

We had a brilliant time. We were informed before we went in the water in an excellent fashion and we would recommend this diving school to anyone who wants to have a truly excellent first dive. The instructors are that good, that when I tried to swim away from them they still managed to catch me.

Chris Booth & Catherine Hawksworth - From: Manchester, England
Monday, April 02, 2007 at 18:18:32 (BST)

I have just had an amazing time! I panicked and didn't want to get in! but the instructor was wonderful - so calm and just helped me under and away we went. About 4 times I went into 'panic' mode and forgot to breathe, got water in my mask and generally went round in circles! But each time he was brilliant!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience 'I will be back!' Sam & Tash PS my daughter really enjoyed it too!

Samantha - From: London

Hallo Brian und Familie , hallo Team , ist zwar schon ein paar Tage her (2002/2003), aber dennoch möchte ich für ein paar schöne und relaxte Tauchtage danke zu sagen. Euer familärer Service, ein Stückweit weg von den üblichen Touristen - Zentren, beweißt daß man auch auf den Canaren,sehr gute und Spass bringende Tauchgänge unternehmen kann ! Tauchfreunden aus Deutschland , kann ich diese Stätte von sehr netten, freundlichen Briten geführt, wärmsten empfehlen. Solltet Ihr nicht ohne schon , individuell geplant haben , empfehle ich dringend individuell Flug + Auto + Unterkunft solo/individuell zu buchen und die Insel und Tauchgründe so wesentlich intensiver zu erleben. Brian wird Euch ggf. auch in Sachen Unterkunft und Auto gerne zur Verfügung stehen ! Viel Spass. Alles Gute wünscht Euch Allen , Mfg. Mario / Germany

Hi Brian, Just a quick note to say thank you for the couple of days diving I enjoyed with yourselves over the Xmas break. It was good to see something different, especially as most of my experience has been in the Red Sea, and I also ended up with the EANx diver course under my belt! Special thanks to Andy & Ed too, whose calming influence really helped and made the couple of day’s diving really relaxing. Hope to be out & see you all again soon,

Brian, Just a quick note to say what a great time Heike & I had last week. It was just what we were looking for...nice accommodation, close to good quality diving. Thanks for looking after us and providing a quality service. Attached are 2 pics of the 'rare' Canarian Lobster. One we saw with you in the cave...the other we saw on the wreck dive.

Enjoyed the dives, the reserve is wonderful. Saw so many fish. If you want to dive the reserve Davy Jones is the place to go, Eduardo is very patient and points out anything you might miss, there is much to see. All the staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable of the reserve. They can also help you find good snorkeling sites. Also Bryan, the Tomate restaurant was excellent!

Gina & Carter - From: Darmstadt Germany

Thank you for a great time - finaly got my long time wanted open water certificate - 4 days of Joy. Especially I would like to thank Brian and Annette for making this possible. You are very calm and easy both of you - and it feels safe diving with you. I hope that I'll return with Statsraaa Lehnkuhl next year so I can join you for another dive. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Thursday, August 24, 2006 at 20:21:51 (BST)

Thank you Annette and co for the lovely couple of days. Really enjoyed my first dive, absolutely fantastic, told Annette I had 5 bar instead of 50! Second dive with Brian was great especially doing headstands! My third dive was incredible, went down to nearly 20 metres! and swam under arch! My last dive was again superb, seen two octopuses, one swam past me! I'd like to thank everyone for the fantastic days and I would love to come back and read this comment soon (hopefully as a higher-qualified diver). All the best everyone (sad to leave, will miss everyone I met.. Annette especially!

10 excellent dives with excellent guides and buddies. Lots to see within the Reserve. All the information about the dives and aquatic life is on hand. Those taking part in the PADI Underwater Digital Photography course should feel assured: Brian is first class to teach and to dive with. Thanks very much.

I write to thank you for the excellent experience I had diving with you. I am glad I did the four day course though I just made it through that little PADI quiz at the end. The teaching and service I thought was very professional and all the instructors had shown a lot of patience with me. Especially thank Brian for his time and Andy for his pool sessions and his patience. Hope to dive in the red sea after this war is over, though I might be back to Gran canaria before then. Once again thankyou for the experience, the water on the last day was crystal clear. Hope to bring my digital camera next time.

Hello, Just wanted to drop you a final note to say thanks for a great day of diving.

The location was the best I have seen & I have dove 3 oceans & a lot of other less famous places! The shop was great, like a diver's cafe. The staff were all very friendly, the trip to and from "zero stress". Lunch was just the ticket too. Wish we had time for another go! The T shirt will be at the top of my collection back in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Looking forward to watching "my first movie". The fish are the stars, divers - supporting cast! Thanks again, from the whole gang!

Hi Marilyn, How are you?

I am back in the office in cold Amsterdam, I wear long sleeves, a warm top, I am freezing. I had a great week last week, diving all week, and I got the confirmation already for the certification.

I hope I will be diving with you again, maybe beginning of next year. If my friend MAAIKE shows up this week/next week, could you tell her my warm regards to her and wish for a great holiday. Best regards to all of you, freezing here,

Brian

I would just like to thank you for your professional handling of my Diveleader course at Davy Jones diving. Whilst I can't say it was easy - I enjoyed every minute of it! Please send my regards to Ed, Andy, Siobhan and Annette. And special thanks to you and Marilyn for making my social life very enjoyable. Hope to see you agin before very long.

James Jowett - From: London
Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 19:30:18 (BST)

Brian,

Just thought I would drop you a short email to tell you we are now back in the UK (unfortunately) More importantly it was to thank you for your hospitality whilst we were on Gran Canaria. Also please pass on our thanks to Annette as she did a great job getting us through the course. We really enjoyed it (well apart from the dive on Monday in the not so nice conditions) and Annette did very well looking after us. Hope you have a great summer season and hope to see you again sometime.

Hi Brian/Marilyn/Siobhán/Andy/Annette/Ed!

I took my PADI OW with you about a month ago, and now I'm hooked; I've started buying my own gear slowly but surely, I've joined a dive club here, done a cold water orientation, and done a few chilly dives in Irish water. I'm already planning my next steps in diving, Sudanese Red Sea Liveaboard is strong possibility, and I'm definitely doing some Wreck diving in Dublin Bay and off the west coast in the next month. Thanks again to the brilliant staff at Davy Jones; in particular to Andy and to Annette, my combined divemaster/taxi/tour guide!

Simon Carroll - From: Dublin, Ireland
Thursday, May 4, 2006 at 10:45:06 (BST)

Dear Brian and Andy,

We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the support and understanding you gave me whilst diving last week with friends, (the 6 of us from Wolverhampton) It was really good of you to take time to help me build up my confidence in the water. Although I had a shaky start, especially with the 15lt tank on the rib on the Tuesday, I thoroughly enjoyed the weeks diving. I certainly felt more confident by the Friday and would have happily stayed for another week of diving! Again, thank you very much for making my first diving holiday so enjoyable. I’m not sure if this is good news but we enjoyed the diving so much we are looking at coming over later in the year! With best wishes to you all for a good summer season,

Paul and Louise Bridgeman - From: Wolverhampton

Hola Eduardo y Brian, ya estoy de vuelta en mi casa despues de las vacaciones estupendas en las Canarias. Desde luego uno de los "highlights" de esos dias has sido el ir a bucear con vosotros en el Cabron. Sois prodesionales y al mismo tiempo haceis del buceo una cosa natural, sin complicaciones. Es muy relajante. Venga! os deseo lo mejor y espero tener la oportunidad de volver a bucear con vosotros. Maxi
