My wife & I decided to go Tobago for our 10th Anniversary. We are avid holiday divers & had heard good things from our friends about one particular dive service – not shop, service… Goodluckdivers, owned & managed by a wonderful German Assistant Dive Instructor named Christian. We found his website also very informative (www.tobago-tauchen.de) It’s one among the best services we’ve had in our many years of traveling to satisfy our diving bug. He’s a lot of fun; he says his English isn’t so good, but the jokes he makes in English one can only imagine what he can do in Deutsch!
His preparation before dives is very professional – here his English is quite good, don’t worry. He made us do check-dives, even though he knew we were fully certified – but then our last dive was about 5 months prior. He also made sure our medical certificates gave us the all-clear – very reassuring, we find. The dive sites around Speyside are just beautiful! Especially Book Ends with sharks, tarpoons, turtles… All the sites have beautiful, live coral, & lots of large schools of fish. Most of the dives go with the current, but Christian always puts safety first with each of us having our own marker. His boat Captain was also quite professional. He was very helpful with loading & unloading the equipment; also too with assisting the divers themselves. The boat was never too far from us when we surfaced.
The service also involves a break on any one of the many beaches near the dive sites, with a bar-b-que. But not the ‘normal’ kind… ever heard of steak on a dive break? How about grilled lamb or lobster? We felt we were at a 4 Star restaurant! It was really so nice to have a fun, relaxing time between the dives – he waits till you feel ready to go ahead for your next dive.
We had a wonderful time with Christian & his Captain, & we would recommend him to anyone going to Tobago for a diving holiday.
