    Just home after 3 great weeks in Tenerife, listening to the weather forecast here tonight, storm force 10, with force 11 possible!

    The wind limited our diving a little, but there was still the angel shark, the giant atlantic ray, and the sardine-munching octopus, all on the one dive !

    Still trying to figure out how that octopus got that ring-pull open !

    Thanks Tim & Tara, looking forward to getting out again early in the New Year !

  • Ben & Gemma says:

    Hi Guys,

    Hope the PG tips went down well!

    All our Best

    Hello Tim and Tara,

    we arrived back home today, but with a lots of beautiful memories of our diving experiences back in Tenerife. You were right when you told me, that I will be thinking about you – poor guys, they have to dive every day… :) tomorrow is my first day at work after my vacation and I am already jealous.. :) and I would love to go to the watter, enjoy the sunrise and just dive more.
    Thank you for your hospitality, the apres dive tee and the antes dive tee, for answering all my questions, giving the answers also to the questions not related to diving, but to the living in your lovely island. What I have to point out is, that I felt very safe and this way I could enjoyed my dives more and more, I just didnt have more time..

    Each dive was different, I have seen lots of fish, turtles, rocks, absolutely beautiful and fully recommended..

    and the first thing I have done online when I came home, was that I was checking the tickets for comming back to Tenerife.. :)

    I will definitelly miss you, but hopefully to see you – sooner or later.
    Wish you lot of fun, make new divers happy and enjoy it – as you always do.

    Thank you for everything, I really hope to come back and dive more..

    I hope I didnt forget to mention anything :)

    take care

    Hi Tim and Tara. Well wot can i say except ‘THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH’. Anyone reading this should know that Tim and Tara are truely trust-worthy, caring and above all they put your health and safety first, before your money. When the weather changed and caused the visibility to become bad and the see a little rough, Tim and Tara decided it was unsafe for our 18 year old daughter Shelby to complete her adventure diving course and gave us the money back for the dives she did not complete. However on a good note, she did complete her open water course and it was because of that and the way they treated her that we encouraged Shelby to continue to the next level with Tim. The reasons being that as parents we were worried about Shelby doing a night dive, Therefore as we trusted Tim it felt right that she should do this with him unfortunately this was not ment to be as this was when the weather changed.
    Well Tim and Tara i hope your move to the other side of the pool has gone smoothly and i wish you all the luck in the word. Thank you once again, from Jill, Dean and Shelby.

  • Thanks Tim!

    I had a great dive on El Raton turning my family vacation into a dive trip ;-)
    The wreck was nice to dive on and your equipment was very trustworthy.

  • Anne & Tim says:

    Dear Tara and Tim,

    thank you for an amazing diving experience.
    The ten dives (and AOWD course) we had were great and we are still impressed by the things we have seen.
    Playing with the turtles is one of the best experiences we have had so far.

    You were so relaxed all the time and really, diving with you is fun indeed ;)

    If we come back to Tenerife, we will contact you and be happy to dive with you again.

    Best regards from Hamburg (Germany),

    Anne and Tim

  • Malcolm says:

    Hi Tara, Tim.
    Had a great time this year diving with you. I first dived with Sol Scuba last year, my first time at diving, and completed my open water course. I loved it so much that i went back to them this year and completed my advanced open water course, efr and rescue diver. What an amazing experience !

    Sol Scuba really are the best and if you are going to tenerife for the diving or want to try for the first time then contact Sol Scuba.

    Looking forward to seeing you both next year x

  • Sam and Kimberley says:

    Thank you very much Tim and Tara! Sorry it’s taken so long to leave a comment… We had an absolutely fab time diving! one of the best experiences of our lives, and we would love to come back again in the future and do the open water course :)

  • Sean Murray says:

    Just back from another enjoyable trip to Las Islas. Confined to port for a few days because of adverse winds, but many thanks again to Tim for the dives we did get. Discovered Las Ilhas Salvagens on the flight home, can we put them on the list for the next trip !

  • John says:

    Hi Tim and Tara! Sorry its taken a while!!Just want to thank you for a life changing experience in feb! Only bad thing was that it went by so quick!Thanks Tim for the relaxed way that you deal with teaching as I was a bit nervous but that soon changed! The boat dives were amazing and cant wait to get back to see yellow mountain. Anyone thinking of diving in Tenerife should go straight to Tim and Tara.Everything is so professional.The gear is top class AND Tim picked me up and dropped me off to the hotel every day we dived! SOL SCUBA or NO SCUBA is my motto!!!!! Thanks again and see you both soon, John Somerville

The 2nd dive with all the fishes was brilliant too a real nice leisure dive :) I would throughly recommend you to any one thinking of going to Tenerife. Mum’s now on a mission to find flights for us all later this year :D Thankyou again and hope your both well! Laura :)

  • Hello Tim & Tara,

    Thanks for the patient and relaxed way you’ve tought us and we will definatelly be back for more! (hopefully sooner than later)

    Take care,

  • manus says:

    hello tim and tara

  • Richard & Maggie says:

    Tim,

    I just thought I would write to thank you for taking us on our 4 dives last week. As 59 year olds, we appreciated your knowledge, skill, expertise, professionalism and patience whilst diving with us. You took us to 3 dives sites that we didn’t know and helped us improve our diving whilst we were enjoying the beautiful environment.

    Thank you for taken us half-way round the island to find a dive site with better conditions on our first day.It is a pity we couln’t do our first night dive, but we realised that you were concerned about the conditions and you put safety first. Perhaps next time?

    The equipment was first-class and we always felt safe whilst diving.

    We will definately be back to dive with you again.

    Richard & Maggie

  • Adel says:

    Hello from Sweden,
    I just wanted to say thank you Tim for the wonderful time that I spent in diving with you. What a remarkable teacher and instructor you are, and I am looking forward to dive again with you when I will visit Tenerife again. The combination of family friendly environment that Sol Scuba have with the professionalism of the instructor that you are give the experience richer impression and for that I am grateful.

    Best Regards and Happy new Year.

  • Kevin & Jackie says:

    Hi Tim & Tara,
    Just a quick note now I’m back in dear old Blightie to thank you for the relaxed and professional manner you displayed when you took me diving on Tuesday. The turtles were amazing, more then can be said for the Tea !!

  • Graham says:

    Hello Tim, Tara and Peter.
    Francesca ,Miriam and myself would like to thank you very much for a fantastic two weeks of diving. We all cant wait to come back for more next year!

  • Sean says:

    Looking out at the sun shining on the snow, after a very lucky escape from Lanzarote between the airport closures from snow and the Spanish ATCs, have repaired my 6 plumbing leaks, and drying out the house !

    Thanks Tim, Tara, Mike, and Peter for another memorable fortnight and excellent diving with Sol Scuba.

    Return flights booked already for February !

  • Paula says:

    Hi all

    Just to say I have dived in many places, home in UK and abroad and I think you are one of the most professional dive centres I have dived with, nothing is too much trouble, with your patience and understanding of needs of individual divers makes diving with Sol Scuba a very ‘chilled out’ experience

    Thank you, Julian and I will return soon………Paula

  • june says:

    Hi Tim
    As I struggle to work during the’ Big Freeze,’ I wonder why I bother. The reason is though, working pays for my diving holidays in Tenerife with you and other divers and where else I wonder would I get to swim so closely with the turtles, antlantic rays, octopus and cuttle fish. Having just taken up underwater photography I really enjoyed the relaxed pace of all my dives with our group. One of my work colleagues is a semi-professional photography and has selected some of my photos for his calendar- printed professionally- so I am well pleased. This year( being the last week in October) was the very best weather and diving conditions I have ever had. It was great. Look out for my report(sorry got snowed under _ literally at the moment- with work.) but will write it up. See you next year.

  • Neil says:

    Hi Tim, Tara and Pete.. not one for too many words.. but by christ i enjoyed my dive with you… great weather, sea, company and equipment.. i cant wait to get back in the water with you and do more more more…
    thank you, you made a scary experience one of the best in my life..
    thank you, thank you

  • Danny says:

    Learning to diving with Sol Scuba was a fantastic experience. Tim was very calming, tuition was first class and the dives themselves ware amazing. I did not expect to be seeing and touching wild turtles and other amazing fish. The whole experience is something I will never forget

  • Rob and Cath says:

    Hi Tim

    Just to say thanks for a great time – The photo’s are great, especially the one with the Turtle, I’m now the envy of the office as it’s got pride of place as my screensaver !!!

    For those who are wanting to dive in Tenerife, I found that Sol Scuba, Tim and his team the utmost professionals and went out of their way to ensure they met your requiremnts in a safe and confident manner, which for me was paramount and very reasuring. They are highly recommended, and you will not be disapointed.

    Also they are very flexible and nothing was too much trouble. I hope to be back next year in October and will be doing some more diving with Tim and his team.

    Well Done Tim and Sol Scuba.

  • Adam says:

    Hi Tim and Tara!

    Just a quick note say how amazing it was to come and visit Sol Scuba and to be taken out diving by Tim.

    He guided me through my Advanced Open Water really well and was an absolute joy to both myself and my Dad.

    Cannot wait to come back and do my Rescue Diver and to be honest I’ve missed Tenerife diving every day since I’ve been home!

    Take care

    Adam

  • Paul says:

    Thanks Tim for taking me for my deep speciality. Another 4 highly enjoyable dives to add to my dive log. Was good to catch up again after last year.

    I can’t fault the service at Sol Scuba. A friendly, flexible, bespoke diving experience in Tenerife. How many dive centre answer your calls at 20:00 at night, or drive 25km out of their way to pick you up for a dive?

    Looking forwards to diving with you next year.

  • Andy N says:

    Hi,

    See you soon for some more dives
    Andy

  • richard & jeffrey says:

  • Thanks Tim for a great morning out. 1st time experience and were well looked after with a very personal service, professional and very imformative.

    Would definatly recommend these guys to my clients and guests – If your going to dive… do it with Sol Scuba!

    Back for more next month!

  • Jimmy G says:

    Hi Tim, Tara, Family and extended Family,

    I really dont even know where to begin in Praising Sol Scuba, Tim, Tara and his family for making our stay so fantastic while in Teneriefe. We were collected from the Airport on arrival by Tim and his Divemaster Dad Peter. Apart from the mind blowing Diving we all enjoyed while there,Tim helped my Daughter Janice 12 complete her Open Water course.

    The rest of us had a week of diverse & wonderful Dives from Yellow mountain to the Turtles at El Portito.The dive sites were interesting and every dive was a new adventure which you were a part of. They just couldnt have possibly done enough for us and had pulled out all the stops.

    On a very personal note, unfortunately I took ill on the holiday and again Tim & Tara stepped up and took me to the Hospital.I remained there for several days. Their local knowledge , their sympathy, assistance, willingness to help in the hour of need was nothing short of exceptional.My entire family were treated like personal friends and not customers , as is the case in so many places. Again, Tim Tara and family, we can never thank you enough for all you have done.
    We cannot wait to return and are allready planning our Diving Holiday in Teneriefe for 2011!!!!!!!

    Keep up the fantastic work Guys

    Love
    Jimmy Bogna & the Kids

  • David says:

    Hi gang,

    well what can I say except for “thank you” we had a brilliant time in some of the clearest waters we have ever been diving in and the wildlife was spectacular. You asked what we wanted then tailored our dives around our needs, I can only say we will deffinately be back. For others who may be reading this entry, I can honestly say that you would have to go a long way to get a better dive centre than Sol Scuba and that is if you could actually find one. Sol Scuba are efficient, helpful, easy going, friendly but above all safe…………I need add no more.

    Thanks Tim, Tara and Molly we had a blast.

    All the very best

    Dave and family.

  • Fanny says:

    Hi everyone!

    We’re now back in Holland for about a week and I can say that the weather in Tenerife is ten times better than here.
    I showed the dive-photo’s to everyone and they think I’m very brave.
    I’m very excited to dive in Bali, with all the beautiful coral and fish, but I promise I’ll come back to dive with you again!
    And I also promised Manuel that I would dive with him sometime…
    I really loved the diving this year, I’m much more confident with diving and since I know all those diving skills I don’t have to panic if something happens.
    Thank you again for everything!

    Greetings to you, Tara, Molly and Toby :)

    And I’ll see you in 2 years for my Advanced Open Water!

  • Brett says:

    Tim,

    Just wanted to say thanks for a great experience, diving is something I have wanted to do all my life, and you helped me finally accomplish that. I will definitely be back to dive again either in November or March.

    Take Care,

    Brett

  • Marc says:

    Hey there guys,

    Sooooo sorry its taken me this long to write this!

    For those of you who don’t know about this place its AMAZING!!!

    I went to Tenerife for a little birthday trip with my friend. So before I went I emailed a few dive shops and explained what I was coming out for and also My friend is not a diver. From the moment I received a reply back I knew these guys were different to the other shops because the email was personal and actually cared about my business. The fact my friend was not a diver wasn’t a problem because Sol Scuba worked to our needs and took us to places where my friend could do some snorkelling too, I ended up doing 5 dives over 3 days because I just loved how they operated and were so bespoke to what I wanted.

    The first dive Tim picked me up from the apartment which was great, the diving was brilliant however I was a little rusty diving without a dry-suit so took me a dive to get myself back to just using a BCD. Tim took this into consideration and lead the dive with that in mind. On that dive we saw some great things the best things were the cuttlefish and the octopus….oh wait and the Cave that we went to. Second dive was a shore dive, I got to see turtles which was amazing!!!

    Day Two – Peter picked me up from my apartment and we went to the dive shop to collect the equipment then off to the dive site, when we arrived they decided to abort the dive as the conditions were too bad so they took me to the other side of the island where the conditions were better, I thought this shows the professionalism. The sites we picked were great and as at the time I was a trainee divemaster Mike the dive leader allowed me to do a little mapping and navigation planning before the dive, I thought this was a nice touch. We saw some amazing rock formations and lots of fish.

    By the day of my birthday I thought I have seen everything I wanted to see. I went diving and Mike was my buddy while Tim was with a open water student, the dive ended up being the best dive I had done because we saw some kind of amazing crab and just as we were heading back we saw an octopus and then from nowhere the thing I had been hoping to see on every dive was pointed out by Tim an “angel shark” I got to have my picture with it and it made my whole experience better than I would ever have imagined!

    I can only say if you are thinking about diving Tenerife dive with SOL SCUBA

    You guys were the best birthday present!!!!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!! :o )
