Comments	my dive buddy kim and i have just returned from Bayahibe, Dominican Republic. She and i are new divers having received our certifications in february of this year.. we were looking for a dive operation that had a good dive master who would lead us in 2 days of diving during our annual vacation.. looking at this web site weeks before, i spotted a testimonial to Vladi and divingdr.com out of bayahibe, dominican republic. Vladi runs a small family operation, which includes wife Denise, son Vlad. Vladi is an excellent dive master who took his time to set up the dive at locations he knew we would be interested in, explained the details of the dive before hand, personally took us on the dives. With the personal service he spent time showing us corals and critters on the reefs that we would never see and then he debriefed us after the dive. During our full day dive to two sites at Isle of Catalina off the coast, he provided a full lunch and all the drinks and water we would want on all the dives. He even picked us up at the hotel utilizing his dive boat.. All the other dive operations i watched during my stay consisted of a large dive boat taking a dozen or more divers of various skill levels out to a site with one or two experienced divers as leaders... those i thought were dangerous situations if someone got into trouble. If you want a personalized experience with complete confidence in your saftey and an opportunity to learn new skills with a dive master who knows the area, you can do no better than Vladi, at divingdr.com
