Awesome people. Took us to 3 locations for snorkeling. Saw a shipwreck, swam near loads of turtles, and across the reefs with heaps of sea life. recommended. They also do dive expeditions
We had a brilliant trip. Really enjoyed it. The owners were nice and the guys were fantastic and we saw a really good variety of coral and fish. This was one of the highlights of our trip!
Our family have just returned from 8 wonderful days in Savaii and both Olaf and Tina were a major reason for this memorable holiday. Both my wife and I have dived around the world and our three children expressed their wish to obtain their OWD certificates and Olaf was everything you could ask of an instructor - caring, considerate, precise , knowledgable and clearly explained all the necessary instructions. Just fantastic.
Their equipment is top class, their boat, well decked out. Their are also two boat boys who are incidentally fantastic .Thank you Tapu and Popo. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Both Tina and Olaf were wonderful to dive with. How anyone could possible find these two rude as in previous comment is quite beyond us. We are definately returning. Thanks Olaf and Tina.
Owners were very rude to us on trip, very demanding and we felt like we were told off by both of them, despite being amateur snorkelers and unsure of equipment and routines.
Local guides were very hospitable and showed us the wonderful clownfish and coral.
Dear karenhB75
Thank you for joining our snorkle tour and also thank you for enjoying the company of our local guides.
We as the managers are sorry that you felt offended by us or had the feeling of "beeing told off".
Unfortunately I do not remember the tour you joined in June, but I can only imagine 2 reasons why we would use "strong words" to our customers: if guests are about to damage corals (or other delicate lifeforms or tries to touch turtles) or if they are about to damage our equipment or endanger themselfs or others. We are very strickt in our rules: "no touching, no breaking, notaking".
I apologise again, and maybe one reason you felt offended might be that English language is not our mother-language - so maybe sometimes we use not the apropriate words. Sorry for that - but we are and will be very strickt in protecting the reef of the sites we visit and in ensuring the safety of our guests.
Most people who join our tours are very happy, also beginners, first time snorkelers, families with kids, advanced watersport cracks... We have all necessray equipment to make it an enjoyable trip for everyone. If you have special wishes, please tell us in advance - once the boat left, is it usually too late.
Thanks again for bringing the language-problem to our attention.
Tina+Olaf, managers of Dive Savaii
This was a highlight of our trip. Dave Savaii took as on a three dive trip incorporating a modest reef drop-off, a wreck and a coral garden. These were perfect sites for a family that is water confident. There were also scuba divers in our party. We saw turtles in the wild which was a treat. Staff competent and friendly.
My partner and I went out with dive savaii recentlyand they were fantastic! I dove, and Tina was the best possible guide; calm, safe and patient with a novice diver. Saw turtles which was my absolute dream. Would highly recommend them.
