Thanks again Guys,
Good to see you all again and as always a good days diving.  I like the new RIB and enjoyed the "Butterfly" cave dive very much.  I wish I could have had two days with you but alas the Euro took its toll with costing.  Please pass on my good wishes to "Video" Mike ...now Photographer Mike, and his good wife.  I hoped to have a good chat with everyone but I had to get back on the free transport you provided.  When I am next on Zante I will make for a lot more time for diving with you, thanks for all your professionalisim and respect.    Everyone has mentioned John May as their trainer I know you all, so I say thanks to you all, and again ....Yes John... Thank You.

Regards

click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlargeYet another year rolls round and yet another fantastic few days diving with the guys and girls at St Nickolas diving centre. (yeah I know it's November but I'm terrible at writing reviews on time) These people really are some of the best people in the business and I can't say enough good things about them

I learned to dive at St Nickolas in 2006 under the guidance of a fantastic instructor called John May, and boy did he give me the bug for diving.

This year they took my fiancé and made a diver out of her too, albeit a holiday diver..... but a diver none the less. No mean feat in itself as she's terrified of anything deeper than a nice warm bath. She absolutely raved about everyone there and was put at her ease right from the start and as such, is now a huge devotee. If they can make a scuba hound out of her they can do it for anyone. Next year when you're on Zante, pop down and just have a word with the friendly staff. Before you know it you'll be clad in skin tight rubber and feeding fishes below the ocean waves.
Don't just think about doing it........Do it........ You'll wish you'd done it years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!

First time to St Nic's, very friendly an professional teaam, John has very good skills of instruction, plans and exequtes the dives well. Very helpful under the water and tries to find things to look at.

The rest of the staff are friendly, and helpful.
The whole atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable....go there.

My boyfriend and I had our 1st ever dive with this diving school back in 2005 and absolutely loved it, I couldn't wait to go diving again! So on our next holiday to Malta I did my second dive, but I had a bad experience which really put me off diving...
Last week, we were back at St Nickolas beach and my boyfriend persuaded me to give diving another go. This time I was really really nervous, but the staff looked after me, expecially Marie, who stayed with me for the 1st half of the dive until I felt brave enough to go down and feed the fish!
I really can't speak more highly of this dive school, not only did I go diving again (which I didn't think I would after Malta), but I actually enjoyed it again. Thanks guys, we hope to come diving with you again some time,

Hello St Nicholas Divers,

I spent the most enjoyable day of my holiday with you when discovering scuba diving and the re-dive. Thanks to John and Jodie for the first experience, to 'camera' Mike for the video, that helps keeping the nice memories (my family was astonished when watching it!!!). Boss Mike accompanied me the second time, that was also a fantastic dive.
 
I'm sure you will make the holiday as funny as mine for a lot of other people this summer. I hope to see you next year, I'm dedicated for the qualification...
 
Cheers and bye, Ildiko (you all called me "Curly")

My partner and myself did a try a dive last year and found it a very exciting and fantastic experience.

Went back this year as my partner wanted to do it again,which she did along with a friend we met while on holiday.
Once again she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Staff are so very good at what they do,safety wise no shortcuts taken. Very safety conscious while on the dive and alert to any problems which may arise.
Pictures or DVD of the dive can be bought,a very nice memento of a wonderful experience.
If you go to St. Nicholas beach you must try this if nothing else.

A huge hello to everyone at St Nicks dive centre.

Did a shore dive and a couple of boat dives with these guys after qualifying last year under the instruction of the brilliant John May. Just want to say a huge thanks to all of you.
The third dive just off Keri was absolutely amazing. Very impressive geology. If you're already a qualified diver you'll get to appreciate the scale of the cliffs as they plunge into the ocean. It was all I could do to stop myself gasping in awe. (you don't get to see stuff like that diving in the Uk very often ) . It was lovely to drop into the water and be able to see the bottom some 20 to 30 metres below you,
fantastic.
 
Cheers guys and hope to dive with you all again soon.
 
Sean & Jane
 
P.S. All the guys on the 3rd boat dive would like to extend our enormous gratitude to Marie for supplying us with riveting and hypnotic entertainment on the journey to Keri. click to enlarge

 What can I say???

I have just come back from a holiday in Zante, where I did my first ever dive and I have to say it was the most AMAZING thing I have done. I have to admit I was very nervous to start with but the whole team are wonderful. They have a laugh and a joke with you and put you at such ease. They are very clear with the intructions and make it so easy. I wear my t-shirt with pride and I enjoy being able to show it off. I have already printed off some of my photos to take to work and put on my wall. A wonderful, fantastic experience. Will be back to see you at the end of the year. Wishing you all at the dive centre a wonderful summer.
 just so sorry I couldn't do it again before I came home.

Just got back from Zante, whole family went for first ever dive. Absolutely Fantastic. The Guys were all really great, Stuart John Mike Martin Mike and not forgetting Marie. We went back on the following sunday and 5 of us did a second dive. We got back home late yesterday and have already got info on doing a course in England so when we return to Zante next year 3 of us should be qualified. Thanks Mike for the DVD's, have already watched them twice, great to watch the kids diving. We all felt safe and in good hands, would recommend this diving school to anyone wanting to try this for the first time.Thanks again for a live changing experience. Dave and Sally.

Does anyone know if you can book a diving trip with this diving school from Tsilivi and how i can do it?  Also how far is it from Tsilivi to St Nickolaos?  I went with a diving school in Laganas a few years ago and want to experience another school and another location.  Does anyone also know a rough price for a dive at the end of june?  Is there opportunity for pictures under the water as i have never got any from previous dives?  Any info would be of great help.

Kai R           

 I visited zante in september of this year and took the diving course and it was absolutley magical,the tutors were very patient and very thorough in what they did.There was no doubt in my mind that i was safe at all times.The experience was that magical that i took another longer dive that same afternoon which took us deeper and further out.I am now seriously concidering becoming a tutor myself thanks to the experience from the St Nicholas team,am also booking to go back for extra diving with them next september it was that good.thank you to all the team of an excelent diving school.(ps didnt know fire worms ate jelly fish)

     Thank you again Kai rivers
