Dear Nick: Thanks kindly for the course. I enjoyed it so much. I wanted to ask you please if you could download the pics to another CD as the CD you gave me I am afraid is corrupted. I don't know if it was a new one but most of it cannot be read. I would be grateful for this. You can mail it to me if you wish. My address is:

Fantastic pics Nick! I e-mailed the world. I loved the dive and look forward to explore the deep at exotic places all over the world. My 5 year old can't wait to join me.
All the best for a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Thanks Nick.
And thanks also for a couple of great dives last week. Hopefully I'll
be back again in the not too distant future. In the meantime, I'll be
giving your name to anyone coming to Eilat for a dive.

All the best

PS. Hope the birthday party went well! Thanks for a great diving experience!
Nick,
We have just returned home from our visit to Israel, and I just wanted to send a quick note to you saying thanks. We enjoyed our dives with you and Allen, and appreciate your efforts to help us “infrequent divers” to get the best experience seeing your beautiful Red Sea.

Hi Nick
Just wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic time. It was really brilliant.
Got home last night and I could not belive how cold it was getting of the plane.
Thanks for the website. Will have a look today.
Hope you get to do some diving today, because G-d only knows how much I would love to be in the water!
All the best
Nick,
I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful time I had last week. I'll never forget the experince.
About the pictures we took...there is an amazing feature on Photoshop that works extremely well with the underwater images.
Once an image is open, go to adjustments click on "Auto Color" or Ctrl+B. Amazing transformation!! If it darkens the picture too much you can click on "Curves" to adjust the light.
Hi Nick,
Just a few lines to first of all thank you for the excellent diving tuition you provided for Luis, he really enjoyed himself and I am sure the knowledge will stay with him in the future.
Secondly we noticed on the form that the address Luis provided you with was not complete, I therefore list below our full postal address :-

Dear Nick,
it was a great pleasure and a very good experience to have the Open Water Diving Course with you in Eilat.
You know that I first had mixed feelings because of language issues and the age of my boys (14 / 15 years) to do the course.
But your and the Lucky diver teams friendliness and excellent service made everything quite simple – even if there had been some problems to be solved caused by others. The course and the whole stay with you in Eilat will be something that my boys and I will never forget!
We are looking back to a wonderful time there at and in the Red Sea – we are also looking forward to see you on our next trip and probably next PADI diving course!
I will send you on Monday from my office (better connection) some pictures. If you give me your postal address I will send you with “snail mail” a CD-ROM with many more pictures. Could you also forward my Biggi’s e-mail address? Thanks!
Kind regards
Martin

Hai Nick, Everything oke
here. Saving for my next trip to eilat. I hope I can go to
Eilat in October or November My trip to Eilat was great. I'm
proud I got my course Open Water. Saw the under water world
of Eilat and can't wait to go back. I want to get a course
advanced Open water and I'm convinst that it will not be a
problem with you as my instructor. I want to thank you for
all your help, without you I think it was muts more difficult.
Thank you for your patients also for showing me the beauty
of the coral, the fish and the dolphins. I was a little bit
afraid to go to Eilat, but There's no place in the world that
is saver than Eilat. I was not afraid to walk alone. Even
late at night. I'm also saving for a wetsuit Thank you Nick
for everything and hope to see you very soon. Got some beautiful
pictures and if you want. I will send them to you With kind
regards and a big kiss Erna Holland
Nick, thank you a lot for the excellent week and your patience!
we really enjoyed learning diving with you. we hope to learn
with you again next month, Shabat Shalom,

Hi Nick,
Just arrived home in a brrrrrrrrr snowy -5C Holland and it's
only just sinking in (pardon the pun) that not only have I
conquered a lifelong phobia about being under the water but
actually gained a qualification in doing it! I really want
you to know how much I appreciate your efforts in getting
me through it. Thank you. And now I've recovered from the
shock, I can't wait to go diving again :-)) Whether or not
that will be in Eilat I don't know. It really is a great place
to be, but there are so many others to explore too...
However, once I've got a few more dives under my (weight)
belt there's every possibility that I would actually go for
the Advanced Open Water course, in which case I can't imagine
a better instructor to teach me, so bad luck, you might be
seeing me again soon.
As things turned out we got the course completed in the nick
(oh no, not another one) of time as I came down with a nasty
head cold the next day. And that's going to be my excuse for
feeling so knackered and acting so 'blonde'. Just imagine
how I might have sailed through had I not been sick!?
So, back to the real world now. Ho hum.
Take care and thanks again for everything. Miriam
Hi Nick ! How is everything ! I miss diving like you can't
imagine. Everyday after I finish my work I surf the web looking
at different things about diving or diving equipment etc.
I'm hooked ! How is diving without me ?? I know it's not the
same. Some of my pictures came out really nicely ! I have
attached two here. I'll send you some more when I get a chance.
Let me know how many your email box can hold. Well, I must
say that I really had a great experience diving with you and
would recommend you to anyone, or everyone ! We'll be in touch,
and I am sure that I will be down there again shortly to continue
on with my training. Thanks for all, A.J
Hi Nick
thanks for a great time in my open water course. I still can't
believe how beautiful this sport is. We'll defenitly coming
back next year to do more diving with you. I also recommended
you to some colleages which are interested.
Attached you will find the picture I told you about. Think
it fits perfect in the dive center.
Best wishes and regards

Hi Nick
Just a quick note to say a BIG THANKS for getting me through
and making me really enjoy my PADI OW course with you in Taba.
Im now hooked on diving and cant wait to book my next diving
trip to Eygpt or even the Maldives (if I can persuade Gill..!!).
It was the most relaxed training course of any kind that Ive
ever been on and Ive already bored my non-diving friends of
all the things I saw in the water. As I promised Im evangelising
your school to all my ‘diving-wannabee’ colleagues – do I
get a referral commission? (only joking). You’ve really got
a great setup and the fact that we were not ‘crowded’ by other
divers is a major plus. 1-1 trainings were definitely the
rigjht way to go and I cant ever imagine wanting to be in
a group of 8 with some more commercial dive school. Anyway
better go back to work – got to catch a train to London, not
exactly the Red Sea!!!
Cheers
Rich U.K
We had a really great time over there. The diving was excellent
and we want to thank you for actually learning us something
and for your patience.

I checked out your website. Very impressive. You know, I am
so disappointed that I haven't been able to dive since I did
my Advanced Open Water with you last year and this is another
reason why I want to take some time away. It has just been
all work and no play of late and time waits....as they say.
I would still like to further my diving knowledge and skills
and do intend to qualify as a rescue diver and divemaster.
Who knows, I might even get my instructors certificate and
not go back to practising law. If I do progress I can honestly
say that I would not wish to be trained by any instructor
other than you. As a lawyer, I am used to precision and absolute
attention to detail and I was extremely impressed with your
dedication, commitment and total professionalism in your instruction.
No corners get cut with you and I am sure that anybody who
you qualify has been trained to the highest possible level.
I'm sure all your students know that and I am also sure that,
like me, when they have had Nick Bennett instruction, they
have confidence in themselves, confidence in their ability
and more importantly, confidence in the fact that they are
safe divers. Nick, please feel free you use my comments in
any way you wish. I hope you see you soon.

Having been initially certified in the Caribbean and traveled
to dive sites such as Belize, Thailand and Mexico, I felt
that I understood diving and what enjoyment it could provide
- which related primarily to the quality of the underwater
habitat, not the diving - or the diving instructor - itself.
However, friends convinced me that having more knowledge about
diving would make the experience even more enjoyable. Unanimously
they recommended Nick, and for all the right reasons: he's
patient, thorough, reliable, responsible, and most importantly,
has a great sense of humor. What I had failed to realize previously
and subsequently learned from Nick was that the right instructor
can help you manage your dive more effectively, which allowed
me to better appreciate my entire experience underwater, from
optimizing my dive time, to respecting and understanding the
natural habitat in which we were visitors. Indeed, I rarely
visit the same place twice (the world is too big for that),
but I went back four times! - not so much a reflection on
the diving itself, but on the high quality experience that
Nick prepared me for and helped me achieve.

Letter from a client Dear Nick-San, hello Taba!
I had 4 exciting day's at Aqua Sport in Taba. The under water
world is wonderful and very save and my diving teacher is
one of the most patient persons I ever met. Go for it!

Ursprungliche Nachricht
Dear Nick,
sorry it took me so long writing back to you, but working
in Tokyo doesn't allow for much free time...the land of the
rising Yen.
I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful and unforgettable
time with you in Eilat. My wife, Georgina wasn't particular
keen on going scuba diving to start with -she was a bit afraid
of the idea to leave 'the world as she knew it' and go under
water... Your calm and patient manner turned her (and me)
into enthusiastic fans of 'the other world' which you introduced
us to! We've been diving in many other parts of the world
since and all the poor instructors we've been with must have
felt that we were always comparing them with you. We wish
you all the possible success with your new set-up and hope
to see you again soon, Many thanks again for everything, take
care.
Alex & Georgina Grell Japan
Dear Nick,
good to hear from you. Mike's been round the world scuba diving.
Hawaii, Great Barrier Reef etc. I've been to Malta and experienced
another teacher! It was then that I realised how lucky I had
been to have been taought by you. You are a natural teacher
who gives his students confidence right from the start. I
really appreciate d your conscienciousness (if there is such
a word) - also that you encouraged us immediately to so things
for our selves, i.e. sort the tanks out etc.
Best Wishes,
Diana Eden U.K.
After a long break from diving due to health problems you
gave me the confidence to start diving again and then to go
on and take the Advanced Open Water Course, which I really
enjoyed and felt so chuffed with myself when I passed. Under
your instruction my diving became very pleasurable and more
importantly much safer.

From The Bressler
Family in Israel,
Is is hard from me to imagine a better place to learn to
dive in the world. Not only is the location pristine, but
Nick's professional patient instruction gave us confidence
and the ability to enjoy diving very quickly. Time and time
again I have heard that the Red Sea is one of the best places
to dive (from those who have been "everywhere") and in my
opinion Nick is one of the best instructors.
Steve,Anne,Josia and Daniel Bressler
You know who recommended me to do my Advanced-course with
you. And of course I followed his advice, I think it was very
wise of me to trust in this recommendation. I believe that
you're a great instructor, you made me feel safe, you learned
me a lot, you showed me a lot, I love diving and you learned
me how to enjoy it, by being serious about diving!! Thanks
for making me a diver, in october I'll be back for the next
courses!!! And I hope you can be my instructor again. See
you in 4 weeks,

Its not often in a lifetime that one has the opportunity
to thank someone for giving something very special and at
the same time, taking something away. After spending close
on 2 years trying to conquer an odd fear of going below
the surface of the sea in water more than 2m deep, I had
pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I was never
going to dive and experience what my closest friend on this
planet had been raving on about. One last effort, during
my holiday in Israel, turned out to be the most awesome
experience of my life. I have no idea how to thank you for
your patience and attitude during the course. At no time
under the water did I have any of the feelings of apprehension
or fear that I had come to know so well. You instilled a
confidence and surety that can only come from someone who
knows so well what he’s doing. For the first time in two
years I honestly believed that things only go wrong if you
dive like an idiot! I recall watching a baby discovering
his feet and toes and the absolute joy and wonder on his
face and him just laughing and laughing. I had so many of
those laughs under water diving with you. For taking away
the fear and anxiety and for giving me the confidence and
faith in my own abilities, I can’t thank you enough - thank
you for getting me down there and giving me the most amazing
experience since I discovered my own toes! I’m even going
to attempt Aliwal Shoal again and I’m looking forward to
it! Looking forward even more to going back to Taba in October
for the Rescue Diver Course with you and then next goal
is Dive Master! (December maybe?)
See you soon.
Regards

Hi Nick,
Just a brief
note to thank you for the great time I had diving with you.
I
greatly enjoyed myself both under and over the water. I
will be happy to
recommend you to potential clients should you wish to use
me as a reference.
Moreover I will definitely encourage Yonna to take the course
with you as
soon as the water warms up a bit. I will be sending her
the PADI tapes this
week. I hope things in Israel improve and your business
picks up soon.
The website
I told you about is Cyberdiver.net. I recommend you check
it
out.
Best regards
David
