Just a quick note from Nicky, Stainton and myself to express our thanks to the team at Aquanauts for helping to make another special dive holiday for us. It only took us six months to get back after the last time and I have a feeling that we will need another fix of Grenada again before too long! The quality of service provided by Aquanauts is, we all agree, the best that we have experienced over our years of diving at various locations around the world. You have through your hard work achieved the perfect balance of good quality boats and equipment along with a rigorous safety culture all of which is enhanced by a knowledgable and helpful complement of staff for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble. It is indeed a pleasure to dive with you. We would not hesitate to recommend Aquanauts to anyone looking to explore the wonderful dive sites of Grenada. We will be back! Clive , UKApril 2010

Just want to say a big thank you to all the guys at Aquanauts for making our Grenadian diving experience unforgettable. Our particular thanks to Paul, Jane and Bruce. You have an amazing team who take the safety of their guest very serious but equally like to interact and have a laugh and joke. Keep up the good work guys and we hope to see you again! Our best wishes Kim & GaryFebruary 2010
aus Grenada nach Port of Spain zurückgekehrt, habe ich, wie üblich, soviel angesammelte Arbeit vorgefunden, dass ich erst jetzt dazu komme, mich bei Ihnen zu bedanken. Ich muss Ihnen jedoch zu Ihrer gut geführten Tauchbasis gratulieren. Es war ein Vergnügen, mit Ihnen am letzten Samstag zu tauchen. Der verantwortliche Tauchleiter war ganz ausgezeichnet und die Tauchgangvorbesprechung anhand laminierter Skizzen der Tauchplätze vorbildlich. Alles passte genau zu dem gut organisierten Zustand Ihrer Tauchbasis, die Sie mir vorher gezeigt hatten. Die gute Organisation und Wartung zeigte sich auch auf dem Tauchboot, wo alles passte und stimmte. Herzliche Grüße Ernst M. / Trinidad/ DeutschlandDecember 09
Grenada is a remarkable island. We cant say enough great things about it; between the people, culture, history and variety of things to do, we simply loved it! True Blue was equally outstanding! The villa's are incredible, perfect for us in size, and features. The resort is lovely and the staff could not do enough for you. Aquanauts is a class dive operation. Austin did his Jr. Advanced Openwater course, Kyle did BubbleMaker and their dive staff worked with the kids wonderfully. They made the most of every dive we did, adapting the dive plans to make the best out of constantly changing currents, and ocean swells. Stacy S. - USADecember 09
Hello Again! We just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dive day! Grenada was our favorite island out of all we visited and our experience with your team was a major reason. Take care, best wishes in 2010 and we hopefully will be back to visit! Christine M. and Family, USA/GermanyNovember 09
It was a pleasure for Craig and I dive with your operation. We had someone ask us on the way home about your operation and we told they couldn't go wrong recommending Aquanauts for their divers. Again THANKS! Jane, USANovember 09
I did enjoy diving with aquanauts as usual and hope to repeat the experience in November 2010 if finances allow. Once again thanks for everything and best regards, Michael. UKNovember 09
Dear Paul, Yes, thanks to your follow-through, we were able to dive Nitrox with Atlantis Divers in Curacao and Dive Aruba. We had great dive days at those destinations. Unfortunately, the trip has to come to a close and we are back in Los Angeles, preparing to jump back into the fast track. We would very much like to return to dive with you and will certainly do so at any opportunity. Kelly and I agree that our day with Aquanats was just what we needed and found you to be very professional, thorough and accessible. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to any fellow divers and will make sure we pass this info along at every opportunity. We look forward to more dives with you in the future. Happy Diving. Mark; USASeptember 09
Dear Aquanauts, Jim and I wanted to thank you again for a truly memorable experience. Your staff was wonderful, the diving was breathtaking, and your whole operation was first class. I was crying yesterday, so sad that our visit was not longer! Thanks again, and best regards. Leslie M.July 09
Dear Gerlinde, Thank you so much for emailing us the photos -- they are wonderful mementos of our diving experience in Grenada. We had an incredible time diving with the Aquanauts team, and hope we will be back to Grenada to holiday and dive again in the future. Best wishes, Tomoko & DavidJune 09
Hi Team, Just a quick note to thank everyone for such a wonderful week of diving 5/30/09 – 6/5/09. Your operation is top notch and the dive sites awesome. Bianca C was worth waiting for and we are already trying to convince our friends (that didn’t make it this time) that we need a return trip. Sandy & Joe; FLJune 09
Dear Paul, Heading out tomorrow morning and wanted to thank you for such a great time. You run a great operation and the individuals were fantastic in their knowledge, capabilities, and friendliness.I hope the tip that the group provided is considered a good one for such a group doing the 5 days of 2 tank diving. Let me know. Again, we all had a great time. Sincerely, Skip; USAMay 09
We just arrived back from Grenada a week ago. My wife and I did 10 dives with your company out of True Blue. We had a wonderful experience and wanted to let you know about two of your workers that stood out and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and feel secure: Jane and Larry. Please thank them again for us and know that they are excellent employees. Sincerely, Irene & GeorgeJanuary 09
We had a wonderful time and have shown our pictures to several people who indicated an interest in coming. We are tentatively planning a return trip in March. Thanks, Jim.December 08

Well, the fact that I did not reappear for anymore dives meant my negotiations with my wife did not go smoothly. Her price for 2 or 4 more dives was too high. Just like to say thank you to Bruce, Bugsy (keep watching the WWE), Charlene (put some weight on and you might not get so cold when your diving), Reece, Giselle (stop being a wimp and get yourselves on the dive boat), Jane (you would not want to be in the UK at the moment) & Ferry Ann. The Diving was even better than six years ago with yourselves. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all again in two or three years time. GarryNovember 08
Just a quick email to say thank you to everyone at Aquanauts for helping to make our holiday in Grenada so enjoyable. Coming back to the UK was quite a shock - it's so cold! AlexAugust 08
Hello! We are back home now, but I wanted to thank you so much for everything while we were in Grenada. Our son Thomas loved the diving on Monday and was grateful that you were able to fit him in for another dive on Saturday! We had a wonderful time and I just wanted to say thank you for everything!

Aquanauts was one of the most organized shops I have dealt with. They had nitrox tanks for everyone qualified to use it and they were most helpful in analyzing these tanks for us. They had a no shoes on the boat policy which was great and kept the decks clean and non-gritty. Usually there were two divemasters, a boat captain and a deckhand on board. During surface intervals they served fruit and fruit juices and had plenty of water available. They had tables and water containers for cameras and a separate bucket for mask rinse. They even personalized a t-shirt for each of us at the end of the dive week. They even took care of our gear for us - washing it, hanging it out to dry and bringing it to the dock by the boat for us to pick up in the mornings. Serena, Wateree Dive Center, USAMay 08
I just wanted to say what an excellent time we just had diving with you team at True Blue. Tony and I had a superb time and so did my son Sam. We especially liked you professional attitude towards diving, with the briefings and equipment etc. Also it helped enormously with us having no babysitters, that you staff are so laid back and kid friendly. We can and will recommend you to anyone who is interested and we hope to see you again. Sam also wanted to say goodbye to Bugsy and Charlene who he missed when we left. Thanks again. Julie, Tony and Sammy; UKApril 08
Dear All; It was a pleasure diving with you last week and thanks for making it such a pleasurable experience. I attach a couple of pics that Paul asked for, one of a flat worm and one of a very small thing which I can’t identify but could be a nudibranch! Best regards Huw; UKFebruary 08
Hello to Paul, Reece, Jane and everyone else.... I'm back in uk and back at work.... Thank you for a very enjouyable time scuba diving with yourselves, I enclose a few photos I took while diving. Niels Boldt-Wilson; UKJanuary 08
Hello Aquanauts; Just got back to the UK after a fantastic holiday in Grenada. I wanted to write to you to say a very big Thank you to Bruce. I haven't dived for about 4 years and when I got into a bit of trouble with my breathing at 70ft deep, Bruce was absolutely brilliant, very calm and reassuring. He took great care to make sure I was OK and the two dives we did together were great. I keep thinking how lucky I was to be diving with such a great guy. Thanks again Bruce. Kerry Nicholls. LondonJanuary 08
Had a great time diving with you. Your dive crews were outstanding. We dove mostly with Paul, often with Rachel along for the ride. And on days with higher seas, I don't see how Bugsy can snug the big boat up as close as he does for us to get out of the pond with ease. We enjoyed the trip and appreciate the professional and helpful service of the various crew members. rob 'n robinDecember 07
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you and everyone at Aquanauts for encouraging James, for letting me and my daughter Vikki enjoy the boat rides and for encouraging my (very very tall) husband Peter to refresh his diving. Judi, UKNovember 07
Dear Gerlinde Thank you very much for all your hard work and arranging for the girls to do their two final water dives with you on 7th November. I am not sure if you know but both the girls passed their Junior Open Water PADI and we and they are delighted. Thanks once again. Penny, Jeff, Charlotte and Georgia; USANovember 07
Hi guys; Just wanted to say thanks for a great weeks diving and some really good company. Finally I really managed to see what the diving around Grenada was really like and I am looking forward to being able to return (probably with a few more divers rather than wives J) for a bit more of a boys dive week! Shhhhh Kind regards, Chris HardingOctober 07
Dear All at Aquanauts; A Big Hello from Richard & Yvonne Just a quick note to say thanks, especially to Jane, Paul and Charlene not forgetting Buggsy of course. Yvonne and I had an amazing time both above and below water and are already planning to return to Grenada next year. Thanks to Jane’s powers of persuasion we are now both advanced open water divers and I know Yvonne feels so much more confident (just not in a red mask on a drift dive!!!!!). Thanks again and hopefully see you again next year,
