    Hi Tim & Tara,

    thanks for the wonderfull dives I had during our holiday – I enjoyed it a lot, and especially the night dive was something I will never forget!!

    The pictures you made are awesome as well, and the best souvenir I can think of!

    Again, thanks for your help, and the passioned support – I feld very comfortable at all times.

    @ Tara: thanks for the good care – Karlien is still talking about you, because you’re so friendly and took such good care of us!

    From my side: I can advice everybody to go to Sol Scuba if you’re in Tenerife!!

    Best regards,
    Chris(tiaan)

    Hi Tara and Tim, missing you guys. Thank you for introducing me to scuba diving and putting me through my open water course, you two really made my holiday a fantastic experience. I have already recommended you to friends that are looking to do something different on holiday. I would recommend Sol Scuba to everyone, they are a great team who take their time with novice divers, instantly making you feel relaxed and safe. Sol scuba make diving great fun and an incredible experience, one that I will never forget! Thankyou both, see you soon.
    Big thank you to Mike, for my try dive.
    P.S. Tara makes the best coffee in Tenerife xxx

  • Roman and Irina says:

    Dearest Tim!
    Thank you very much for fantastic days in Atlantic ocean on Tenerife. All was super: you, turtles, a lot of fish, places of diving. More thanks for Tara and her fine smiles. And of course more thanks from Roman for your beautiful stamps with turtle. :-)
    You – the best!

    Дорогой Том,
    большущее спасибо тебе за фантастические дайвы в Атлантическом океане на Карибах (Тенерифе). Все было просто прекрасно: и ты – суперинструктор!; и черепахи, и места для погружений. Отдельное спасибо твоей жене Таре, она прелестная и ее улыбки заменили нам недостаток солнца. И конечно большое спасибо от Романа за твои красивые штампы с черепахой :-) .

    What a day i’ve had. Passed my exam, 84 percent and had a great time meeting the turtles and touching them. Plus doing some bits and bobs in the sea just in case of emergencies, but that wont happen and best of all I did it with the best instructor ever, thanks Tim (and Tara)

    Hi Tim and Tara,
    Just got back to a Snowy (can you believe its May??) Scotland after a fantastic weeks diving in Tenerife.
    Highlight of the trip was my time with Sol Scuba. From the minute Tim picked me up until we got back to Granada Park the day was fantastic. Many Thanks
    If its not too much I would like to add a few comments that other divers may wish to know about your business.
    I can only describe the service given as a bespoke, tailor made diving experience. The professionalism of both the onshore and dive team is unquestionable. From choosing our preferred dive site to driving straight to the drop off points to the dive itself one always feels in the company of a team that have a clear knowlege of their sport, the importance of safety and preparation and a keen sense of the environment. Faultless.
    I love diving in the Cnaries. Its an adventure and no two days are the same. Not really for me the aquarium diving of the Red Sea. This is more raw adventure. No garantees but when a ray / grouper / tuna/octopus (need I go on) is discovered the feeling of achievement and excitement is amazing.
    Dont go changing Tim. Top marks all round

  • Thank you so much for looking after Tom on his Open water dives. He loved every minute and really benefited from Tim’s quiet, calm approach. I really benefited from Tara’s excellent cups of tea!
    Tom is already planning his next trip for lots more diving – see you next year!

  • Andy N says:

    Hi, Tim and Tara

  • Sue says:

    thank you so much for Alfies first scuba dive today, as you know he loved it. What a first class, pro business you have. Well done. :)

  • Steve says:

    Hadn’t scuba dived in 20 years. After chatting to Peter at my apartment complex decided to go for a refresher dive. Tim took me out and after 5 mins of uneaseness, really enjoyed the dive. Very impressed with Tim and Peter’s friendly and approachable nature. Going to introduce scuba diving to my 3 boys when were out next year, and will definitely be using Tim and Peter again.

  • Anthony Cundall says:

    Hi Tim
    Many thanks for helping me pass my Advanced diver qualification and Deep diver speciality. I was a bit aprehensive before my first dive as I struggle to learn due to issues to do with Education. But with your laid back easy going way, I soon relaxed and enjoyed the dives as dives and not as tests.
    Was great to see some great marine life (Electric rays and angel shark and turtle) which I would not normally see at home. You have greatly improved my self confidence in the water and cant wait to come back for you to take us to some more great places.

    Dive safe bro!!

    Best Wishes

  • Sean & Eva says:

    Just home from 12 great days of great diving, sunshine, and a great drive around Tenerife, including Masca, Teide, Purto de la Cruz and Taganana. Unforgettable !

    Thanks to Tim for arranging the dives to suit my easy schedule, the drives to the sites, the perfect dive management, and the relaxed pace of the dives. As a diver for more years than I care to remember I haven’t dived with better.

    Our accomodation at Marino, arranged by Tim, had all the facilities we required and was perfect.

    And thanks to Tara for all the coffee !

    Already planning our next trip back !

  • Tereza says:

    Dear Tim and Tara,
    many greeting from cloudy Prague.
    Thank you very much for the amazing experience with my very first trial dive, which I was affraid of. Tim is not only professional partner for experinced divers like my husband Ladi is, but Tim is also the best teacher for beginners like me. He is very patient, explains everything very slowly and gives you your time to get familliar with all the equipment and all the things around. Tim never lets you be scared or confused, because he is with you all the time under water, holding your hand if you like and doing what you need to feel safe and comfortable. Thank you so much for everything, I think I became a diving enthusiast :-)

  • Vern & Vicky says:

    Hi Tim,
    Thank you once again for an unforgetable dive holiday!!

    Taking pics underwater of us was a very nice touch and there is a lot other dive centres could learn from your hospitality and personalization for optimum experience.
    We will definitely be back, there is such a vast amount of dive sights and great diving.

    See you soon

    Vern & Vicky

  • Johan (John) says:

    Back in a cold and wet Holland I think with great pleasure on diving with
    Sol Scuba. As you know I didn’t dive for eight years, but because of the
    relaxed way you (and Tara and Peter) run your divecentre and handle your
    clients I became very enthousiastic again. We are allready planning to
    come back to Tenerife and for sure I will fit in some dives with you.

    Regards,
    Johan (John)

    I’d like to dive hihihi To forget everything during one hour, just listening to the underwater silence and thinking on nothing !!!

  • Julia says:

    I really enjoyed diving in Tenerife; I would like to say a big “Merci” to Tim and to all Sol Scuba. It was a pleasure to meet them, a pleasure to learn with Tim (and also to get padi certification) and to dive with Tim and my friends. Hope I would be back and continue this fantastic experience.
    Best wishes to all of you,
    Julia

  • Jarda Svec says:

    Hi Tim
    Thank you that I could get down under water in Tenerife and saw all that big group of fish and turtles.Swim tru caves and blowhole that was really wonderfull.

  • June says:

    Thanks for the ’special mention’ Tim and Tara. It’s great to dive with people who make you feel so welcome and take the time and effort to make sure everyone enjoys thier dives, and the company. The dives were great and I have been retelling my stories to some of our club members, in particular Peter. We have swopped stories about the ‘El Raton’ wreck. I’ve also told everyone about the rays, ‘What a dive!’
    Well done, again, on your future bookings. Keep up the good work and I look forward to returning.

  • Martin says:

    Hi Tim and Tara
    Snorkelling with you has been the highlight of my holiday and i cant wait to come back next year and do it all again. I loved seeing the turtles and i have still got the sea urchin shell which is sitting on my window sill. Going Snorkelling with you has interested me as a career option in the future.I hope to be seeing you next year and that you are all well.
    Thankyou so much. Take care.
    Martin

  • June says:

    Hi Tim
    It was great diving with you in April. ( Sorry for the delay in posting this.)
    I really enjoyed seeing the Atlantic rays and the eagle rays. The turtles of course are exceptional. My first dive of 30m was a real treat, it felt so easy and relaxing and the fish was great no to mention the ‘El Raton’ wreck. It has awakened an interest in doing more wreck diving here at home in the more chilly waters of the North Sea.
    I am looking forward to diving with you again very soon (next week,) and also seeing your dive centre ‘make-over.’
    Take care

  • Liset says:

    Thank you for this wonderfull experience! It was the most valuable experience I had on Tenerife! Jordy an I are going to do our Padi Open Water Diver here in our hometown, so we can dive a lot in Cuba! The North Sea has to wait some time I guess, I will need a lot more experience for that!

  • Liset says:

    Thanks for the wonderfull experience! I will recommand you to all of my friends! Next time I will come back to see the turtles!

  • Mike says:

    thanks for an excellent day wish i could have done another dive .We will be be back for certain.

  • Fanny says:

    Hi Tim and family,
    We had a great time diving with you again!
    It was beautiful to see all those colorful fish
    The pictures are brilliant, the photo where Tom stands on his hands is my favorite ;)
    We’re just a week back in Holland, and have been a bit busy, so it took a while before we had time to write in your guestbook…
    Next year we’ll definitely be back for some more diving!
    Keep an eye out for the mailman next week: surprise!!

    Best wishes to all of you,

    See you next year.

    Sandra, Joop, Tom & Fanny

  • Kesman Dermott says:

    Huge thankyou to Tim at solscuba for a wonderful day out with my wife and kids. It was a great way to end our holiday.
    It was excellent to see that huge Butterfly stingray and turtles and can’t wait to come back and dive some more with you…. maybe a wreck dive next.
    cheers for such a great time, and thanks to both Peter and your wife.
    Kes, Sarah, Ollie and Bailey.

  • Lewis says:

    Hi Tim! Thanks for helping me complete my open water course and for the dive where we saw the Butterfly Ray and the Greenback Turtles. It was a really cool dive.

  • Paul (also known as Albert says:

    Hi Tim,

    Back in our own rainy country !
    We already miss the sun !
    Thanks for the diving / snorkling experience.
    Our compliments for the way of explaining everything, the time you took to put us at ease and the whole approach
    Please give our regards to your father and wife !

    greetings

    Paul (a.k.a. Albert) and Marita

  • Chris says:

    Firstly, I’d like to say a big HI! and a big THANKS to Tim and all at Sol Scuba for what can only be described as one of the best experiences of my life so far. I know that may sound a little over the top, but it’s the only way I can put this experience in to words.
    From the moment I sat down, I knew these were people who had only my best interests and enjoyment in mind. Everything was set at a pace to suit me, with no pressure whatsoever. From the free trial dive in the pool to going out to do an amazing sea dive at Adabes, everything was set perfectly.
    I hope this new venture becomes everything you want it to be, because people like you deserve it.

    Many thanks and best wishes…..Chris

  • Tia says:

    Diving in Tenerife with Tim last year gave me some of the best memories, a smile still spreads across my face when i think of the dive where i had some serious turtle action :) i gained padi certifications in deep diving and night diving, considering i am scared of the dark tim was amazing and kept me calm and i ended up having the time of my life!
    Thank You and Good Luck.

  • Arianna says:

    I fully recommend to dive with Sol Scuba! i hate fish.. and i done it and enjoyed every moment of it :) Tim and his family are all lovly! Its like a whole different world down there, and one im glad tim shared with me and nads :) We are hoping to come back in november and im sure i can squeeze some money out of dad so me and nadia can have some more underwater adventures! Bye for now… and thankyou! :D

  • Amanda says:

    Having always wanted to give scuba diving a go, I was both excited and terrified about my first Trial Dive but it was absolutely brilliant!! The team at Sol Scuba were so great! Tim was so patient with me and explained everything so well and constantly ensured that I was happy with everything before, during and after the dive! So guess what I am going to do my Open Water qualification when I am back in Tenerife and it will definitely be with Sol Scuba.

    I would highly recommend Sol Scuba to anyone, from a novice like me to the more experienced diver – whatever your level they are definitely the guys to speak to!

    Thanks Sol Scuba, can’t wait to do my Open Water with you when I am back in Tenerife later this year!
