Danny, Big Cat Volunteer Programme Namibia, November 2009

Oliver-- After getting to my program I have been speaking with the other people here as well as the coordinators of the program and I have to thank you for all you help. The other people who went through a booking agent did not have good experiences at all and by the time they got here they were extremely frustrated. The people who run this program told me that you have checked in multiple times with them to make sure that everything was going well with me and that you were very on top of things from their side. Thanks again for all your help and hard work--- By the way, I am having an absolutely great time-- Danny

Thomas, Diving with Tiger sharks South Africa, October 2009, Dutch

Excuses voor de late respons, maar ik was het vergeten. De trip was fantastisch. Mark heeft echt passie voor de dieren en weet er veel van. We kregen ruim de tijd om de dieren te bewonderen, het was leuk om te zien dat Mark er zelf ook veel plezier in heeft om haaien te zien. We werden behoorlijk vrij gelaten, we moesten zelf letten op decompressiestops etc, dus duikervaring is wel vereist. Het materiaal was goed. Een leuk detail is dat we bultrug walvissen zagen en dat mark een hydrofoon bij zich had, zo konden we dus naar hun gezang luisteren, super! Mark was erg geduldig en heeft ons nooit het gevoel gegeven dat we moesten opschieten. Als we terug gingen richting wal kwam dat omdat wij het te koud hadden om nog door te gaan. Mark heeft prachtige fotos van ons en de haaien gemaakt. Een hiervan heb ik toegevoegd als attachment. Het hostel waar we verbleven was prima. Mooie kamers, goede gemeenschappelijke ruimte. Wat opviel was dat er alleen 's ochtends een gastvrouw was. 's Avonds was er niemand en dan zit je daar wel een beetje in de middle of nowhere. Erg aardig was dat we de eigenaar altijd bereid was om ons een lift te geven als we hem belden. We hebben uiteindelijk alleen blacktip en dusky haaien gezien, geen tijgerhaaien. Daar was het seisoen kennelijk niet geschikt voor. Ondanks dat was het een onvergetelijke ervaring en heeft het ons enthousiasme voor het duiken met haaien verder aangewakkerd! Bedankt voor de goede organisatie! Groetjes, Thomas

Hi Oliver, just a note to thank you for your help and advice on Monday. I had no idea of the best way to send money and thought I would need to know exactly where Tom is. With your help the process was really easy and incredibly fast. You also put my mind at rest by telling me that could afford to eat for a few days! Tom picked up the money without diffiulty and is probably spending some of it on an alcoholic concoction as I write! He seems to be having a great time, I think he has chosen a good way to start his gap year, a structured month before he sets off on his own. By the way, your instructions for arriving in Bangkok, getting to the island and general hints on Thailand were amazing. Have a good day, thanks again, Tricia

John, Muay Thai Thailand, September 2009

Yeah I had a great holiday just what I needed. Many thanks for organising everything to make it easier. Cheers John

Said, Muay Thai Thailand, Juni 2009

Hi Debby, The welcome was great, it was very well arranged and marina (rep.) was standing at the pier waiting t take us to the resort. Even though I was exhausted from the bus ride I got really exited seeing this amazing island. The training was very good, The best thing about it was that it was one on one with the trainer at that you could do it at your own pace. And my level did improve, right now I am planning on continuing this back home. Good luck with everything, I wish you and your Company the best. Said
