My son Sean and I would like to thank the crew of the Raptor and the staff at Ventura Dive & Sport for making our dive trip to Anacapa Island a great one. Bob, Monrovia Ca.
Your operation (for my
club) was, in a word, gracious, professional, and outstanding. Ok...
three words! I look forward to diving with the Raptor again with my dive
club.
Raptor Dive Charters Had a great time -
the Raptor is all you said it would be and your whole operation -
store, boat, training facility, staff - were all top notch. I was
very impressed. See the write-up and pics at
http://scubadivetravellife Diving was really good too - challenging at times - but learn and grow, and on we go. Have a great summer. I hope to see you in the fall. Thanks again, Jody
Again, a BIG THANK YOU!!! to you and your crew... we had a awesome time!!! Your boat, your crew, conditions, dive spots, vis.... Everything was great!!! We will definitely want to do another trip with you guys again. Let me know when your shop does promotions, I will let people know. Take care, Susan
Hello Raptor Dive Charters. I was pleasantly surprised at the professional and
organized structure to the day, the way people were checked in and out
by both their dive station and name along with the help and advice that
the Raptor’s dive crew offered. Other things that really made the day
were things like the captain slowing the boat to see the dolphins,
whales and also a sun fish (all without being requested) just because
they wanted everybody to see them. Your boat - The Raptor- was an
excellent boat, plenty of room, easy to get in and out from and really
fast. Mark
It was fun chatting with you on the boat. I have to say, I was soooo impressed with Ventura Dive & Sport’s operation. Great facility, great store, super boat. And all of it so well organized. I wish there was an operation like that up here in our area. We have the corporate cookie cutter (Sport Chalet - nice people, but they have to work within the system) or the mom and pop dive shop (I lock the doors at 6pm and then open a beer.) We hope to be back down to Ventura Labor Day, and if not at least send people your way. I know they will be well taken care of. Sea ya, Jody
On Saturday, June 14, while on my second dive of the day off the Raptor, I became caught up in the surge and couldn’t get back to the boat. I was already getting tired from trying to swim back to the boat, so I gave the distress signal. Thank God that Joe and Kathy actually pay close attention to the divers and spotted me immediately. Kathy swam out to me as fast as she could and pulled me back to the boat, all the while having to listen to my panicked babbling. She remained calm and focused, and got me back safely. At the time, I really wished she was riding a SeaDoo instead of swimming with a boogie board, but all worked out well. This was my second trip on the Raptor, and my friend Bob and I are really impressed with the way you run things -- from the roominess and cleanliness of the boat, the great food, drinks, and snacks, and the friendly and professional crew. And I can add to this list GREAT EMERGENCY RESPONSE. I am so, so, sooo thankful to Kathy, and just can’t say enough about how grateful I amfor her strong swimming skills. And a big thanks to Joe, who had to stay on the boat and watch for others, but I am sure was thinking good thoughts. I will definitely be back diving off of the Raptor, but next time it will be with a dive guide! Again, a great big “Thank You!”, and I will be seeing you again, hopefully soon. Denise
