Mark,
Thanks so much for a great time on the Manta Dive. Ole ( the headmaster of Hawaii Preparatory Acadamy) and I feel this is one of the best dives ever. We appreciate how the three of you took care of us. I received the DVD of the dive and it is awesome! Sorry it took so long to e-mail you, but I have been going all over and just got back to Arizona. I hope to go on more dives with all of you maybe next summer. Feel free to e-mail me with any things going on there.
Thanks again,
Jeff Snyder

As a retired U.S. Navy Deep Sea Diver I dove on the USS MONITOR civil war
salvage project and the USS ARIZONA, but the Manta Ray night dive I did with
Neptune Charlie/Manta Ray Dives of Hawaii ranks right up there with those
exicting dives. I mean it, it is absolutely incredible being that close to
the giant mantas, an intimate encounter with creatures of the deep. The
ship's crew were very professional, friendly, very safety conscious, and made
the entire experience one of the best dives I have ever had (And I have done
a lot of diving!). Thanks for an unforgettable experience and I highly
recommend these folks for both experienced and beginner divers. And if you
just want to snorkel, like my wife did, it is still a safe, amazing
experience because you also are able to be close to the mantas.

kids next time, we will do this again with you guys. Thanks for a great
experience!

Mark,

Just a quick note to say thanks again for a wonderful dive last week. Bill and Evan were terrific, and the manta rays were amazing (and out in force). We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We've already sent several people (who should have contacted you by now), and will continue to do so. You guys are fantastic!

Please give our thanks to Bill, Evan, Big Bertha, and the mantas...

To whom read this:

Please forward to Buddy and the rest of Neptune Charlie's Scuba Divers.. I want to thank them for the best time of my life. Espically Buddy. He was execellent on making me feel safe. Not to mention he showed me the most amazing creatures. I will never forget the octopus he found. It let out a huge ink cloud like a smoke screen underwater. We swam thru it to catch him. Once he caught him I got a great picture of him holding it. Then he let me hold it. It was rubbery and held onto my hand tight with his tentecals. It was a memory of a life time and I'll never forget them. Please thank him for all the pictures he took of me, and thank the crew for taking care of my girlfriend and best friend that paniced, went back aborad and got sea sick..

Thank You,

Hope to see you all soon.. Next time I want to Manta Dive as well.. =)

Hey Mark,

Comments:
We are now back to reality on the main land. We had the time of our lives the night of Sept 28, 2006 when we went snorkeling with the manta rays. We haven't stopped talking about our experience with the rays. I, Debbie, didn't know what to expect when we went out that night. I was kind of scared but, once the first two rays past me I was so amazed and fascinated that I became fearless. Bryan (my husband) thoroughly enjoyed the hole experience. He was totally amazed how close the rays came to us.

Not only was our experience with the rays phenomenal, the crew members of Neptune Charlie's Bill & Buddy were just as great. They made us feel like family. They answered all questions and made sure we were fit properly with all equipment required. They also had beverages, sandwiches, snacks, candy and souvenirs.

We can't wait for our DVD's. We also snorkeled with the dolphins. While in Kona we highly recommended Neptune Charlie's/Manta Ray Dives of Hawaii to all we talked to, even to our friends and family here on the main land.

We will be back in Hawaii next year and 'WE WILL' be back at Neptune Charlie's/Manta Ray Dives of Hawaii.

I give you all a Five Star rating.

Suggestions:
Keep up the great work.

Thank you all tons for a great time

Aloha Mark, We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our Manta Ray Night Dive with you on June 13, 2006! You took such good care of everyone and the briefing was very clear and covered every single question I was going to ask. My newly certified son-in law was with me and this was his first boat dive and first night dive. The experience couldn’t have been any more wonderful for him. It was an unforgetable experience and I am so glad we were with you and your crew. Your boat was spotless and we had plenty of room to move about and get acquainted with our fellow divers and snorkelers. I can’t wait for our video to arrive! I’m secretary for Dream Divers Club of Modesto, CA and the video will be our entertainment for our next general meeting! Mahalo,

If you are looking for a great dive company then look no further then Neptune Charlies. I just returned from the big island and I booked five dive with them while I was there. They treat every diver like they are the only diver on the boat. Mark & Bill do every thing possible to make your trip one that you will remember for years to come. They offer a night dive with the Manta Rays that is a "must do" for every diver. On our dive we saw a total of 15 Manta's. Mark will record all your dive then have it transfered to DVD. I purchased it, and it was waiting for me when I returned home, it was put together very very well and made me feel like I was right back in the action again. I will be booking more dives with them when I return to the islands even if I have to fly from another island. All A's in my book. His company also goes by the name of, Manta Ray Dives of Hawaii.

I have been diving with this company on numerous occasions and have only had POSITIVE experiences. On every visit to the Big Island (every year for the past three years now), I exclusively use Manta Ray Dives/Neptune Charlies, as I feel no other operation offers such good customer service and one-on-one attention. The owners and staff are friendly, professional, and have always been willing to go the extra mile to show me and my friends a great dive experience. Sincerely,
- Andy Frerking - Las Vegas, NV

I hope all is well for you in Kona. If we visit that neck of the woods again, you can be sure we will enlist your services. Our time spent with you turned a great vacation into a spectacular vacation, and I mean it! I also have given your company name to a couple of friends. Thanks again!
- Jeff Sharp

We would like to let you know how much we enjoyed our dives with you. You are running an excellent operation and you deserve rave reviews from all your customers. Additionally, the extra items you and your crew did on each dive is what sets you apart from the rest. We hope to dive with you again soon. Best regards

The Manta Ray dive was incredible! I work with marine mammals everyday and this was no doubt the BEST dive I have EVER done! The Rays were up close and everywhere, it was amazing to watch them! This was an unforgettable experience swimming with the Rays and watching them feed. I cannot wait to come back to Hawaii to experience this dive again.
- Christopher McGuire Marine Mammal Trainer

Just wanted to say thanks for the great first time diving on March 11th. We are so glad we got the video - our grandkids think we are super! Best to you and your business! Again thank you for the great experience!
- Tyler and Becky Chicoine

Just returned from our 3 1/2 week trip to the islands and the video of our Manta Ray dive of 4/25 with both of you had arrived. Carol and I both have been raving about the dive and the wonderful trip we had with your company!!!! The video was superb -- we both relived the dive all over again.
- Rich and Carol Gresham

ALOHA! Thank you for the DVDs. We really enjoyed revisiting the thoughts of our night dive. WOW! What an experience. I told the boys how thankful we should be for the many blessings we have. For instance, our eyesight. People who cannot see could not even imagine the excitement and joy that we experienced. We all had a wonderful time. We will definitely refer your business when the opportunity arises.

We went snorkeling on the Manta Ray night trip on Thursday June 2, 2005. This was AMAZING! We have lived in Hawaii for 8 years now and this experience was, by far, the coolest thing we have done in the islands! We will definitely be back for another trip to see the Manta's.
- Michael & Tamara

Thank you so much! Your dive was the highlight of our trip and believe me I will tell everyone I know about it. Thanks again!!
- Jan Van Epps

What a truly incredible experience to dive at night with the Manta Rays off the Kona coast. The Rays were so beautiful and graceful but what made the trip was you. Your knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious. I received the DVD today just one week after the dive and was overwhelmed by the quality of your product. I will be recommending you to any diver, snorkeler or wildlife enthusiast to look you up for the experience of a lifetime! Regards
- Andrew Sinclair

Thank you sooo much for giving us the experience of a lifetime on our vacation to Hawaii! The night dive with the Manta Rays was made even more memorable by the great video we received in the mail yesterday! Now all our friends can see what a great experience it was & hopefully come there some day and experience it for themselves.
- Nick & Shannon Beck

We enjoyed the dive very much. We look forward to diving next year when we come on vacation. We will pass your name on to everyone we meet that is looking for a dive company. Thanks again.
- Dave & Linda Clark

I received the DVD. What a great production you made! The filming, editing and coordination with the sound track are top quality. It is not often these days that you get more than you expect or bargain for in a service. The dive was an awesome experience and I would highly recommend your company. I will pass your name on to my friends. Thanks again, Danke Schõn,
- Dan Castillero

We had a wonderful water experience with you guys. Both the Manta Ray and the diving experiences were the best. You are now known all over our office! Aloha and Mahalo.
-Charlie Sharp

I would like to thank your for the memorable and breath taking experience of night diving with the Manta Rays. We were so fortunate to see 4 Mantas last night and to be so close to them It was such an exciting and thrilling experience! I can't wait to see the dive on DVD. Thanks you again,
- Hope Braceros

We wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we enjoyed the Manta dive. It was super. We wanted to let you know the DVD was fantastic. Your dive beats the Ray dive in the Caymans hands down. You guys did a great job both on the DVD and the dive itself. We have both decided that the Manta Ray dive was the highlight of our entire trip and have recommended you to everyone. They must dive or snorkel with YOU. We have been diving since the mid- seventies in many areas and this was our most memorable dive to date. Thanks for a great memory.
