If I ever win the lottery here in the state of New Hampshire in the USA I'll be down for some really good diving with you.
- David R. Morin from USA (January 2010)

Thanks for the dives, guys! You are great & very professional. Love all the work you're doing to help the local environment too. And thanks for the restaurant tips & book discussions, Sabine!
- Alix & Jace Cheal from Australia (November 2009)

Hi Sabine, Hi Sascha, wie versprochen nach unserer Rückkehr einige Zeilen für Euch (inkl. Bewertung TA!). Vielen Dank für die perfekte Betreuung und die wunderschönen Tauchgänge (auch wenn mir bei der ersten Ausfahrt wetterbedingt reichlich übel war). Weiterhin viel Spass und "good luck"!
- Stefan & Frederic from Germany (August 2009)

What an amazing experience! We can't say enough good things about you guys. This was the highlight of our entire trip. We look forward to many exciting dives in our future all thanks to you guys (especially James).
- Kerry & Jim Fillmore from USA (August 2009)

Hi guys, Had a great time diving. It was an amazing experience. Cant believe the colour of the fish and how clear the water was. Be back soon.
- Bernie Liebelt from Australia (July 2009)

Eleven unforgettable dives. The excellent organisation.Total perfection. All the team works,as clocks. Absolutely individual relation. Especially I mark also crystal-clear fresh air. I in delight from diving and from work of all your dive center. Nice to meet you guys.Thank you so much.
- Evgeni Suturin. from Khabarovsk,Russia (July 2009)

Hi there. I recently (25 June 09) did my first scuba dive! I tried it out in the pool at Club Raro through you guys (which was a great way to try it out, especially for a non-water baby like me!), and then thought I might as well give the beginner lagoon dive a shot, so signed up! Glad I did as had a great experience thanks to James my instructor, who was very understanding about my poor eyesight and tricked the fish into coming to us! Was amazed that the session wasn't cancelled as it was just myself who had signed up - so thanks very much for going ahead with it! Also thanks for picking me up and dropping me back at Club Raro as this made everything viable on my last day in Rarotonga. Thanks again, and now that I know I can do it, I'm thinking I may have to go diving again sometime!
- Tessa White from New Zealand (July 2009)

I can remember what a great time I had learning to dive with you guys! Both Matt and I truly loved our diving experience with you, you are lucky to have such a fantastic group of people working for you. I am quite claustrophobic and I found the first lagoon dive pretty challenging and I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to complete the course. I think I got through it in the end mainly due to Patrick - he was such a good teacher, he really helped me to remain calm and he gave me the confidence that I would be able to do it. I am so glad I did, the first boat dive was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I know that I will continue to dive in the future and we are actually already planning our next dive holiday! We would love to come back to see you and dive with you again, so hopefully we will see you in Rarotonga again soon!
- Emma Burke from New Zealand (June 2009)

Hi Sabine, Sasha and Patch Just a quick line to thank you so much for your kindness, patience and professionalism in teaching Mitch and Joel to dive. They are so excited to be home and telling friends and family that they are now "SCUBA DIVERS". We are trying to encourage as many of our diving friends as possible, here in Melbourne, to come over and visit you and we hope to be back ourselves in the not too distant future. Will be in touch. Regards Frank, Corrine & all the boys.
- Frank Weber from Australia (January 2009)

Hi guys, fantastic two days of diving. It was unbelievable. Thank you very much! Hope to dive with you again.
- Jozef from Slovakia (December 2008)

I recently took my Open Water Cert. both online and completed the practical w/ The Dive Centre. I can't say enough of the good training they provided. Sabine, many thanks for your online help, Tandy for your patience, knowledge and your care and concern. And Sascha for your help, expertise and great effort to help make for a fun dive. I recommend whole heartedly The Dive Centre for all your diving needs and wants while enjoying Rarotonga. Keep up the good work folks and I hope to see you again soon.
- Jim Campbell from U.S.A. (November 2008)

I did some "Discover Scuba Diving" dives with Pat in August and absolutely loved it. He is a great instructor. And everyone at The Dive Centre was fantastic. I have since done an Open Water Course in New Zealand (colder!) and want to thank everyone at the Dive Centre for getting me into this fun sport.
- Sean from New Zealand (September 2008)

Hi Sabine und Sascha! Vielen Dank fuer die super tolle Zeit auf Rarotonga. Ich habe es nicht bereut mit tauchen angefangen zu haben und nehme Dank euch einige unvergessliche Erinnerungen mit nach Hause. Gerade bin ich in Kanada, hier gibts zwar keine Fische, dafuer aber Elche, Biber, Woelfe und Baeren. Das Hostel ab morgen liegt mitten im Nationalpark und hat keine Dusche und kein Strom... ABENTEUER!!! Ich wuensch euch noch eine schoene Zeit, wer weiss vielleicht verschlaegts mich ja irgendwann noch mal nach Raro! Gruesse und vielen Dank fuer alles! Ciao Max
- Max Riess from Germany (August 2008)

I completed my PADI Open Water Dive course here in April 20008. Sascha was an amazing instructor through the whole course, very professional but also made my time there very enjoyable. The staff here were so friendly and helpful through out my time on the island, whether I was diving or just snorkelling.The diving sites were amazing, lots of visability and lots to see! Would definitely not think twice about diving with them again! Recommend it to anyone, you wont be disappointed!!
- Garth Powell from Australia (June 2008)

Thanks so much for an amazing dive course - everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. It was probably the best thing we did on our whole trip! And thanks especially to Patrick for his patience and energy duing the course!
- Jo Moore from UK (June 2008)

I have never imagined that diving was so easy. The intro dive given by Sabine at the hotel pool wiped all my past hasitations to dive. In my subsequent lagoon and open water dives, I was impressed by the caring and professional approach of the staff in the Dive Centre. Can't wait to go back to Rarotonga. Eddie - Sydney - Australia
- Eddie Lee from Australia (May 2008)

The dive course was one of the most amazing things i´ve done in my life and in the centre everybody was so nice...Sabine, Pat, Sasha and especially Patch. Thanks to everybody and we hope we can see you again.
- Francisco Mimica from Chile (April 2008)

I spent a week in Rarotonga and plucked up the courage to dive there. I tried it in fiji and the instructor wasnt encouraging at all. But the guys at the dive centre were fantastic and i felt that i could do it. And with there encouragment and knowledge i did it. And its the best experince i have ever had and one that i shall never forget. Thank you Patrick for for patience. Would recommed anybody whos going to the cook islands to go with the big fish!
- kellie james from uk (April 2008)

Only my 2nd and 3rd dives since 1996 but they were both spectacular, well organised and supportive for an initially apprehensive and no-longer-young diver. Thanks and if I am ever back in your island paradise count me in for another couple........
- Peter Williams from U.K. (April 2008)

I was probably the most annoying student to get mij PADI open water. They provided even with bigger bottles, because I ended up always the first one without air. Sasha got several times mad for my stubbornes, but again did everything on a professional matter. Now I even required my own equipment, to be able to dive on my own with a buddy. Strange till my 18th birthday I was afraid of water and now I have my open-water certificate. This is a great institution to get your padi, professional service and they take the time for you. It even doesn't matter if you are the most worst student like me. God bless all
- Aart Iwan Mark Philip Harberts from USA (March 2008)

Hi Sabine, Sasha and Patrick! Thanks so much for teaching me how to dive, I am very proud to call myself a certified Open Water Diver after only three days!! Patrick, you have been an incredible instructor, your detailed explanation and patience took away all my fears, even from the sharks, they were amaaaaazing!!! Have very fond memories and look forward to come seeing you again and hopefully dive with you in a week! Take care, Viviane
- Viviane from Switzerland (February 2008)

I would never have imagined myself going scuba diving, but after doing the intro dives with The Dive Centre, I was hooked. And subsequently did my open water divers course with them. It was brilliant- they were very professional, encouraging and patient. Even after qualifying, I'd still do my dives with them anyday. Thanks guys :)
- Chris Heng from Cook Islands/New Zealand (February 2008)

Two great days of diving--expert organization and supervision. Some of the highlights were heaps of sharks, school of barracuda, sea turtles, eels, and a great variety of tropical fish. Highly recommended.
- David Cutler from USA (February 2008)

hi the big fish, i spend a very nice time with you, you are so proffessional and sympatic. I dive only with Patrick, this is a VIP dive! it's a very good instructor and he speak french better than french. we dive in pa pua and ava avaroa passage, wonderful canyon and we see a lot of fish and we are lucky, because also i can see a porcupine puffer fish ( huge) the embleme of the dive centre, look for the big fish!!! if you are in rarotonga take it easy the funny guy Léonard
- PIZZATO LEONARD from french polynesia (January 2008)

Hi Sabine&Sascha. Vielen Dank an euch beide und Patrick, Gary & Kristen für die schönen Tauchgänge bei euch & euren wunderbaren Service und das Patrick es geschafft hat Bianca entspannt ans Tauchen zu gewöhnen in der Lagune. Wir hatten eine tolle Hochzeit auf Rarotonga und das Tauchen bei euch war echt super. Hoffe wir können mal wieder kommen. Wenn ich mal Fotos im Netz habe demnächst, lasse ich es euch wissen. Wünsche euch einen guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2008 und weiter viel Erfolg und Freude dort. Tobias
- Tobias Schohl from Germany (December 2007)

Hey Sabine und Sascha, das Tauchen war klasse mit Euch! Wenn wir die Photos auf Eurer Homepage sehen, bekommen wir gleich wieder Fernweh. Wenn wir je nochmals die 30 Stunden Flug nach Rarotonga absitzen sollten, kommen wir wieder vorbei und tauchen mit Euch ab! Viele Grüße, blubblubblubb, Elisabeth und Alfons
- Elisabeth and Alfons from Germany (October 2007)

I had a wonderful experience learning to dive with the Dive Centre. I found the owners and staff very helpful and professional in every step of the way. I would highly recommend the Dive Centre and when I am back in Rarotonga, I will be back.
- John Tomarchio from Australia (October 2007)

The beginners open water course has been the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga. Sabine was great to talk to about the course and gave us a lot of confidence and Ian was a fantastic instructor. We have already organised to join a dive club in the U.K. and carry on this great sport. Thank you so much. P.S. swimming with sharks was amazing!
- Iain and Hannah from U.K. (October 2007)

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for the great dives, will definitely come back and dive with you again. Cheers
- Yann from New Zealand (September 2007)

Love the website. Not dived yet, but planning to do so when my fiance and I travel out to Rarotonga next July to get married. Can't wait, looks absolutely stunning :-)
- Sam Franklin from England (September 2007)

After spending nearly a week wondering whether I could do this, had a fabulous time on my intro dives - the staff were patient, patient, patient. I look forward to doing more diving with you when I return to Rarotonga.
- K. Zoe Vucich from New Zealand (September 2007)

Hi Sabine, Sascha and all the team. Thanks for a great time diving last week on the reefs. As usual the time in Raroland was just all too short, so look foward to getting back over for more. Take care and all the best.
