Diving Thailand, Koh Tao
While in Thailand dived with scuba shack on Koh Tao.
There were very friendly & were very well organised. They even gave me & my partner a slight discount. Got transported down to the pier @ Mae Haad & then had to get on our dive boat. We had to climb over several boats which was ok for me but my partner Jo Nurse was not comfortable with this idea. Could pose a potential health issue.
The diving on Koh Tao is very cool with plenty of marine life,comfortable water temp of 25c + & good visibility. The crew were in general very pleasant & helpful but some of crew ( Divemaster ) where not over welcoming & appeared uninterested in there role.
Koh Tao has plenty to offer with respect to restaurants,accommodation,gift shops & other activities etc. Overall a great place to go for scuba diving & many other activities & also have Koh Phangan & Koh Samui to explore.

Lanzarote Diving
Euro-divers.com Diving Review
Jeff – September 2019 “On my first day of the diving holiday I was greeted by the Euro-divers guide and my equipment was picked up from my Hotel where I was staying. My diving equipment was then taken to the boat for my first day of diving. Sadly this didn’t continue with my equipment being left at the Eurodives Centre and myself and diving buddies having to travel ourselves to each diving location.”
Our Dive Guide Mr Rabeling was lovely and helpful.
The Aquatic Life was excellent at our diving locations with good visibility while diving. This Lanzarote dive was in September 2019

Cyprus Diving
Cyprus Diving Review
Jeff – “I was looking forward to getting some good dives in on the Island of Cyprus with warm waters between 20-25 degrees, perfect temperatures.
Dived with both Cydive in Paphos & VikingDivers in Larnaka.
Dived airport reef & warm waters & my partner saw her first “turtle” & was ecstatic.
The visibility was ok but for a seasoned diver I think you’d be rather disappointed in the dive visibility.
Well organised duvet centre & knowledgeable staff but hotel pickup/rtn would be advantageous.
Dive the zenobia this term with vikingdivers & areas of concern were.
1. No boat briefing
2. Was quite disorganised @ the boat
3. Concern @ dive guide controlling buddy groups

Rhodes Diving
Lepiadive.com Diving Review
Jeff -October 2019 “I had taken a group to dive with Lepia Dive Centre and they were excellent, permitting self courses with my group. They were also friendly and very helpful. Some nice wreck locations on Rhodes and the aquatic life was quite active with warm waters of 20-25 degrees and good visibility.

A few underwater photos of numerous dives in Lanzarote where we spotted harlequin, cuttlefish, Jenkins stingray, rainbow stingray, grouper, octopus and much much more.
