Dive Worldwide Reviews

Finally got around to writing our review. Sorry to hear about the previous posters experience with Dive Worldwide but my wife and I booked with them for a month long holiday in French Polynesia (we are from the UK), in September 2018, the holiday included, Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, and Raitea and was absolutely fabulous. Every pick-up and drop-off and flight during our island holiday was on time and perfectly arranged. Every dive package and island tour was on time and exactly as planned and each pension / guest house was excellent and fulfilled our booking requests to the letter, and actually in all cases exceeded our expectations tremendously.
We can honestly say that we would definitely book with Phil and his team from Dive Worldwide again without hesitation, as they tailored our holiday absolutely perfectly to what we asked for.

Last October I decided to finally fulfill my dream of diving in the Galapagos. After looking around online I found Diveworld. I spoke to Matt Howell who was very pleasant and helped me find a boat that was available.
I was told that I had to decide asap as there were only a couple of spaces left on the boat - I felt very pressured but decided to pay the deposit as I didn't want to lose the opportunity.
I also told Matt that some friend of mine may book as well and he promised to arrange a retrospective discount.
3 other friends booked and when I reminded him of this he completely backed out of it. I had paid the deposit so there was nothing I could do.
After the money was taken the level of service I received was non existent.
A friend mentioned that I might need a VISA to transit through the USA - Matt didn't even mention this to me and had I not specifically asked the question I would have been rejected at US customs.
He also tried to put me into a shared hotel room with one of my friends during a transfer, when we had agreed a private room.
He had verbally agreed when we agreed the price that he would include the BCD rental - when i reminded of this he pointed me to the terms and conditions and said we never discussed when we did - totally my fault for not taking it in writing before I paid the deposit.

Diving in the Galapagos was amazing but I also found out what other divers paid booking the same boat both earlier and later then I had booked and Diveworld were 30% more expensive! Also the boat was not full, so in the end I realised MAtt used the oldest trick in the book and pressure sold me, knowing this was a dream trip for me.
Great boat. Amazing diving - go there JUST DONT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. You can definitely get a better service and price elsewhere.
