Comments from our Customers after their Grand Cayman dive Vacation

 

We just returned from a 7 day vacation to Grand Cayman. I did quite a bit of research online to find a "private" diving charter for our family of four - 2 adults, 15 year old, 11 year old. Mark with Absolute Divers was quick to answer all my e-mail questions. We booked several days of diving and worked on multi-day pricing. The nice thing about booking with Mark...you can pick your dive site...and pick the time of day you want to dive. The boat was of a nice size...clean...equipment organized...nice dive deck off the back. Very professional and knowledgeable.

The days Mark was booked with other divers, we dived with 2 other companies on the island. No comparison - my daughter described it as "boring".

When we return to Cayman...we will only dive with Mark. We saw turtles on every dive which was so exciting for my son. My kids felt very safe and comfortable with Mark...he always kept an eye on them...pointing out different things to them on the dive.

Thank you Mark for a great experience. My husband has dived several locations in the Caribbean, even Grand Cayman ...he said his favorite dive so far was with you. THANK YOU. Hope to dive with you again real soon.

Hi Mark.
    We made it back safe and sound. Before the day to day activities of normal life got in the way, I wanted to drop a brief note of thanks for the great times we had last week.
Robin and I have been fortunate in that we have been able to dive literally all over the world and plan to continue our extensive diving travels. Even so, we do come back each and every year for a week of diving in the Cayman Islands.  The easy access to the island, the low crime rates, the very close reefs (read more time diving and less time getting there) and the world class reefs them selves all keeps us coming back.
    Having said all that, the four of us were chatting about our dive trip this year, and we all agreed, it was the best dive experience we've ever had in the Cayman Islands. The luxury of lot's of space and room to spread out our stuff (although Gael still thinks you should have plastic wicker baskets) was only part of it. Mark, we enjoyed your personality. We never felt you were looking down your nose or condescending at any time even though there were two sets of  Regs with no gauges the first day and you had every opportunity to question us. The flexibility you gave us regarding times/locations etc all added to our enjoyment. Your easy going support as we worked through some of the PADI stuff re advanced courses was great.

   I must admit that I was a little concerned when I set up our week with you. Since we've always had such good experiences on island in previous years, I would have taken a lot of grief from the rest of my group, if things hadn't turned out well. However, things couldn't have worked out better. Mark, we will definitely use you in our future trips. Matter of fact, we are talking about setting up another trip in May next year, as we all want to jump back in again, and don't want to wait until Nov.
 
Take care Mark.
 
Thanks again for a great Diving experience

Mark,

Just wanted to say thanks, again, for the great dive trip.  I will certainly be using you again in the future.

What a trip !! I just returned from a vacation in Grand Cayman. The
highlight of my trip was the scuba diving. We went out with Absolute
Divers and had the time of our lives. The Captain of the boat - Mark - knew
exactly where to take us and knew the area well. We saw sealife we
never would have been able to in witness in Florida and were more than
satisifed with the both the price and the expertise. I would recommend
Absolute Divers to both amateur scuba divers and experienced divers also.
Thanks again Mark - we had a riot and will return !

 

Mark,

Again many thanks for keeping us safe and sound and allowing us to enjoy the diving so much. We'd certainly recommend you and hope to return ourselves when we can.

Mark,

My family and I had a great time diving with you last week. Wow! Stingray City, the eel, the wall, the lobster, the barracuda, the tarpon...I could go on and on. Thanks for accommodating the kids and putting up with the adults. We'll definitely look you up on our next trip to the island.

BTW, the underwater video turned out great!

 

Mark,

    We want to thank you for the great time we had diving with you in Grand Cayman. We really appreciate the personalized dive trip you provided. Your company was the only one out of the 15-20 I contacted who would arrange for 2 morning dives to include Stingray City. Since our cruise ship was only in port for the day our time was limited so we could only dive in the morning. The reef was fantastic and Stingray City is an experience we will never forget. We also appreciated having the underwater camera available for us. We look forward to diving with you again on our next trip to Grand Cayman.

         We did have a good time, you were a great host.  On hindsight, we should have made another dive right there - but the snorkeling was cool - at least we saw that shark there.  Scott liked his "crash course", and so we plan to get him certified next year so we can make diving a more frequent hobby.  Thanks for working with us and for the personal attention.

Mark,

As mentioned personally, before our leaving 'The Caymans,' we very much appreciate the outstanding diving and friendship that you offered us. Your local diving knowledge, 'personal-touch,' and professionalism, made our diving experience on the island, absolutely wonderful. We could not have enjoyed a better 'Thanksgiving Holiday' of 2003.Please feel free to use herein as a 'testimonial' to you and your fine company. Thank you again!

Hi Mark:
     Your tour was the highlight of our trip!  We loved the personalized tour you gave us.  We had such a good time.  The water was beautiful and it was an adventure of a lifetime!  We learned a lot and even relaxed after getting use to the stingrays.  Feeding them was so cool!  Like a Hoover vacuum cleaner on your hand. 
     We wanted to thank you so much for taking us out to swim with the stingrays, 
    If we ever get to Georgetown again, we will check in with you!  Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Mark,

   The dive trip was a great success! Thank you for being flexible with our cruise ship schedule. It was very convenient being picked up at the cruise ship pier and taken to your dive boat. The boat was very nice and the dry cabin below and bathroom sure came in handy. The boat ride out to the dive site was beautiful! The dive with the stingrays was amazing! It's something we'll be talking about for a long time! The water was warm and so clear, the stingrays were friendly and the fish were beautiful. Thank you for letting us customize our trip! Having some divers and some snorklers limited the sites that everyone could enjoy, but you knew exactly where to take us! Dave and Gina sure did enjoy the "Resort Dive". They got to experience scuba diving without having to go through the long and sometimes expensive classes. The reef was beautiful! Even my mother-in-law (who doesn't swim much or anything like that) really enjoyed snorkeling the reef. I would highly recommend Absolute Divers for anyone considering either a scuba only, snorkel only, or (in our case) a snorkel/scuba combo trip! Well worth the price!~~~ We'll send pictures!

Thanks, Ryan S. Sangster

Mark,
 
 I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how much I appreciated your flexibility and hospitality. Your ability to work within our cruise restrictions as well as picking up and returning us to the docks worked out perfectly. The entire family enjoyed the trip and are asking me daily when we are going back. The diving was spectacular and defiantly more than we expected. Again, I can not thank you enough for making Diving Grand Cayman the highlight of our trip. I can assure you we will be back and when we do, you can be assured we will be looking you up. I am attaching a few pictures of the trip and again, Thanks for a great trip.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

best charter:
www.absolutedivers.com with mark. he's the best and knows the area like the back of his hand. he can hook you up if you don't mind spending the money. he's very fare and will do his best to work with your schedule. he's got his little whaler on the 7 mile beach side, and his bigger boat can meet you at rum point dock, or where ever is half way for the both of you


someone mentioned absolute divers...i must concur...mark is an excellent guide, capt., and dm. he is a little more expensive because it is literally a private charter. he does his very best to meet your schedule. www.absolutedivers.com

Mark,

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with you in Grand Cayman.  The children all enjoyed themselves, and will be very excited about the next dive trip we get to take.  I have attached several of the photos, which I took that I thought you might like for your web site.  

Thanx for helping to make our Cruise memorable!

Sincerely,

Mark,
 
     I wanted to write and let you know what a great dive trip we had with you last Friday. We felt very taken care of and the trip fit in perfectly with what we wanted to do and the Cruise ship schedule. My wife Karen appreciated the insightful conversation you two had on the boat while the rest of us dove. We later gave her the iron stomach award for staying in the rocking boat while we dove. It was a great dive and Sting Ray City was a lot of fun. Thanks for a great trip and your insights into life on Grand Cayman.
 
    I've attached a couple of photos you were so kind to take for us. We look forward to our next trip to GC and diving with you again. Thanks again.
 
Best Regards,
