Testimonials
My hubby and I are not camera divers but Mike's points on photography /editing were great! Wonderful communication and just lovely humans who kept everyone in the loop when plans changed. Our leaders Mike and assistant leader Paul were professional great communicators, and made the trip really great. Mike is approachable. Friendly, helpful. The entire Bluewater crew including Mike, were excellent. With the weather changing from hour to hour, our trip leaders were excellent at communicating all updates. They are wonderful and professional ambassadors of Bluewater. The sense of humor and ability to stay abreast of the latest changes regarding the dives really made a challenging situation easier to adapt to.
