I look forward to coming back next year and new challenges!" - Phil, New Zealand, July 2006   "I had my first ever diving experience while in Savaii, scary at first but with Fabien's help I was able to relax and enjoy myself (to my surprise!), he is a great instructor.

Thanks Dive Savaii for a great experience." - Sarah, Hamilton, New Zealand, June 2006   "I really enjoyed my three dives with Fabien and Flavia, I saw the most awesome sealife. I didn't know that clams got as big as the one I saw at the coral gardens! I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Samoa." - Kristian, Hamilton, New Zealand, June 2006   "Two beautiful & varied dive sites.

Open water @ 'Coral Garden' was beautiful despite visibility due to surf. Dive Savaii's equipment & boat are top rate & I had an excellent time. I saw one turtle which I was able to catch on digital camera I rented from the shop. Overall, this is a very professional & fun operation & I will definitely dive with them again the next time I am on Savai'i." - Candy, USA, December 2005   "Great diving & very professional set up.

Thank- U !!" - Momo, Israel, November 2005   "Just a note to say a big THANK YOU for all of your help last week. Caroline and I have returned to work already and had an amazing time in Samoa.

We both enjoyed it thoroughly and found the diving a very easy and excellent experience thanks to your calm, but professional approach. You made us feel relaxed and in good hands." - Nick & Caroline Cambell, Australia, November 2005   "Awesome environment to dive, awesome little dive store, very friendly.

Fabien, thank you for showing us lots of different fish." - Carmen & Beat, Switzerland, November 2005   "Open water course was great. Close instruction with only 2 in the group. Plenty of felixbility with course and time to go over anything we were unsure of. Warm water, beautiful scenery and exciting marine life. Thanks Fabien and Crew for a great trip." - Caroline, Australia, November 2005   "Dive Savaii was my first adventure in the world under the sea. I had gone to Samoa to surf. I heard from some another Dive Master that Fabien was a very competent teacher and suggested I get my certification on the island. He was very accommodating and thorough in the course and I feel I have a strong foundation to dive anywhere I go. I really had a great time seeing the shipwreck and the coral gardens. If you are in Samoa and are thinking of diving, check Dive Savaii out, it is a unique experience." - Ted McCann, California, USA, September 2005   "My daughter Jessica and I came to Samoa with the Scone Grammar School group in September-October 2005, and we did four dives with you. On the first couple of dives around the reef, I guess you were getting to know what our experience level was. I was most impressed with your attention to safety and the care and attention from Lome. The third dive about the Juno wreck was my best dive experience to date. Fabulous. The fourth dive through the coral garden was very impressive. Visibility on the third and fourth dives was about 20 m. I was very happy with the viz ... even more so when I returned to NSW, Australia and had visibility of less than 5 m off the Central Coast ! Jessica and I both enjoyed the freedom of not having to wear wetsuits ... a real bonus. Flavia took a video of the group on the first day. It was an excellent production and very funny (in places). Congratulations and thank you. We're looking forward to returning." - Wayne Cossens, Australia, September 2005   "I was very fortunate to be one of the first divers since Dive Savaii was taken over by the new owners Flavia and Fabien, whom went out of their way the whole entire time to guarantee a great experience. I was very impressed with the services that were rendered. I was picked up and dropped off at my vacation rental on a daily basis and didn't have to worry about a thing other than enjoying my dive trips. In the past I enjoyed scuba diving in locations all over the world including the Bahamas, Florida, Cuba, Egypt, etc., but nowhere have I experienced better service than in Savaii which is extremely important to me since I have a disability. The diving itself was very relaxing and I was even able to enjoy shark and barracuda sightings. I would like to thank the very qualified Dive Savaii team for an unforgettable time and wish them the best of luck for the future. I hope to be able to return to Savaii in the future, but until then I would like to give my highest recommendations to Fabien, Flavia and their team." - Michael Kladrowa, Germany, August 2005   "Yes, we are truly now back to the real world and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Samoa. Our dive with you was really great and your Crewman was really helpful and happy. Thanks again for our memorable dives." - Russ Hawkins, New Zealand, August 2005   "We keep in memory the great atmosphere that was surrounding us while we were diving with Dive Savaii. We have the feeling that we found the right spot to dive and the right people to dive with. You contributed to make Savaii one of our best moments in Samoa." - Tifenn & Ludo, France/Australia, August 2005   "We had a great time with all of you August 5th and 6th... thanks for taking us out and showing us around...your friends from California... " - Rod & Elsa, USA, August 2005     "We dived the wreck (Juno), and a dive site called Coral garden. I took some pictures (click here to see pictures). I hope we will dive with you again, but the distance is the problem. Now I am diving in holland again (snow at the moment, -1 C) in a dry suit of course, so as a matter of fact I am a little jealous of your situation !!!!!" - Jaap Griep, Holland, July 2005
