1. The calm, professional and courteous instruction we received.

The service, instruction and overall experience with Dive North was outstanding in practically all facets, so rather than detail the two days we spent with them in detail I will cover off my highlights:

Our instructor Dan introduced himself to us immediately and from that point on ensured we knew exactly what was happening next and what would be expected from us - both on and off the water. His patience when individuals struggled with skills was commendable and he ensured we felt comfortable and safe throughout.

2. The friendly, open nature of the crew. Each member of crew introduced themselves to us and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. From the constant cups of coffee and the detail on a number of islands in the way out, they were what made the two days so much fun. The diving will take me back to the Bay of Islands, the crew will take me back to Dive North.

3. The professionalism and service of Dave and Sue, the owners. From the first email enquiries they were both informative and patient, and promptly answered questions and provided advice on future diving options.

We had a fantastic time, and look forward to visiting them again.
