Unser Fazit: super Planung, tolle Tauchplätze, einwandfreie Ausrüstung, jederzeit pünktlich, freundlich und spürbare Leidenschaft sowie Know How bei der gesamten Truppe.
Herzlichen Dank an Silvia, Rolland und das gesamte Team von Forever Dive für die tolle Zeit bei euch!
Maintenant je vois sur Google quelques avis critiques et je dirais : si vous plongez comme un caillou, allez plutôt plonger ailleurs. Nous ne sommes pas là dans un culture « Client PADI dorloté » où on vous tiendra par le haut du stab pendant toute la plongée si vous ne savez pas vous équilibrer. C’est un club de pros, pour des plongeurs qui savent ce qu’ils font et qui ont envie de plongées de qualité avec des gens sérieux.
A smoothly run club, and in which a rich experience is palpable – Sylvia has been taking divers to see the seabed around Nosy Be for 20 years and it shows. Nice dives on the most beautiful sites in the area, looking for whale sharks for intense moments in PMT on the way back from the dives... all good.
Now I see some critical reviews on Google and I would say: if you dive like a rock, go dive somewhere else instead. We are not here in a “Pampered PADI customer” culture where you will be held by the top of the vest during the whole dive if you do not know how to manage your buoyance. It’s a pro club, for divers who know what they are doing and who want quality diving with serious people.
The early bird catches the worm - in the case of Forever dive and Sylvia then the fish. With an early start at 7:30 a.m. we were always the first boat at the dive site, which guarantees good visibility and maybe big stuff too :-) Sylvia goes far out to offer the best. She lets experienced divers run on a long leash, has everything under control at all times, you can tell she is an old hand in the business. Her crew is amazing, kudos to the job these guys do
We did 4 days of diving (2 planned dives/day) with this center, that had 2 dive “guides”; Silvia and her husband Rolland. Foremost, the “guidance” was very limited, the briefings were chaotic, with no clear plan (often they just said: "we jump in the water and we will see…) leading to several people (including others outside our group) to get lost, the instructors had to be chased and tapped on the back for a manometer update as they never looked at you and Rolland could only speak french, leading to miscommunications (e.g. we go down by line or without) and people feeling unsafe. Besides that they don’t care about their clients, they don’t care about the reef either, throwing their buoy with a lead weight on top of the reef for every dive, breaking several corals. But the worst remark to be made is that Silvia, the owner of the establishment, is an extremely rude, careless women that made us all feel very uncomfortable and created a bad atmosphere in various ways. We were a group of 5 divers, of which 2 were beginners that just got their PADI open water degree and 3 CMAS 1* divers with 40 to 100 dives in different countries. Silvia was properly informed about our experience and started to blame the beginners for a lack of skills, mentioning that they should not go diving, are not worthy of their licence, and should pay her as an instructor instead of a guide. The irony is that all our dives went well, and she only helped the beginners with regulating their boyancy in the first dived. One of the beginners stopped after 5 dives because she didn’t feel safe anymore, very sad for a first experience. Besides, she was rude in a personal way, for example asking my girlfriend whether she wanted to dive because of me or because of herself and screaming that we should listen if she was talking. Although her husband appologized for things that went wrong, Silvia never did and even made it worst at the payment stage, where she charged more than agreed before, a dive that was not performed by one of the divers (because of the chaos and miscommunications during the briefing) and, when we confronted her with our opinion, she denied all problems and said that we can come back after 10 000 dives, because we clearly lacked experience to found that opinion.
Nosy be is a beautifull place to dive, but please do not dive with them. We shared our opinion with some of the locals and they recommended to dive with Manta dive, scuba nosy be or sakatia lodge. I wish we knew that beforehand.
She set up Forever more than a couple of decades ago, making it one of the longest standing operators on Nosy Be. She is a very experienced instructor with a lot of knowledge, not just of the diving but also the last 25 years at Nosy Be. Her client orientation is fantastic, she highly punctual, her equipment is like new and the highest standard I've ever used and prices are amongst the most reasonable I came across after contacting 10 dive centres.
Highly recommended for those wanting a fantastic diving experience.
Addition: the following day I went with another company on a different part of the island and it was quite a contrast.. an hour late, not such good equipment, and not the right sizes, not such good instruction. So I recommend Forever Dive even more now.
