Here's what others have also had to say...
From an Introductory Dive:
Lynn was excellent!!...I would like to highly recommend her. I was a little panicked at first. Lynn did an excellent job of reassuring me and going at my pace. She certainly was the reason that I had such a wonderful time SCUBA Diving. A top class instructor!!!
From Referral Dives:
Ms. Allen was gentle and persistent in her supervision of my actions prior to and throughout our dives. She impressed me thoroughly with her knowledge of diving skill and of the local diving environments. She is an avid & devoted diver and an impressive teacher.
From a Guided Tour:
Rene, once again you have made our diving experience more than we expected. We love your personality and attitude towards the ocean, and making sure we always have a great dive. It is always more fun to dive with a friend...
From a Rescue Diver Course:
My rescue diver training was the most valuable training I've received since my basic training. Dr. Lynn Allen is an exceptional instructor and her very serious attitude, especially to the rescue training, was exactly appropriate. You are very lucky to have her as a PADI instructor.
From a Guided Snorkel Tour:
We are four adventure loving women who have always loved to snorkel. We met up with the pros at Octopus Reef for a real snorkel adventure and finally learned how to do it right. We now know that going with the pros makes all the difference. We saw far more than ever before and learned to appreciate all of what we saw. We will never forget our quality time with the rare fish and graceful turtles. We had the best time and love the photos of our snorkel adventure - it was a major highlight of our trip!
From Referral Dives:
Lynn Allen was finishing my certification by putting me through my paces in the required open water dives. You have a truly wonderful woman doing this! There were two other students with me who were having some difficulty, and her calm patience and attention to the really important life-or death kind of things was something I greatly admired. The fact that she cared enough to encourage them through their difficulties and didn't let any of us "slide" just to get them certified spoke volumes for her professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for this sport.
From a Guided Tour:
Rene, I wanted to thank you again for the excellent diving. Frogfish and the whale! Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the whale on film, but I thought you might enjoy a
photo of one of the frogfish...
From Referral Dives:
Thank you again for everything. I could not have asked for a better teacher.
From an Open Water Certification:
First and foremost, thanks for your great teaching. As I said, learning and getting certified are something I've wanted to do for a long time. Doing the course with you was the best experience I can imagine.
From a Guided Tour:
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed searching Maui's waters for its rarest fauna. The helpfulness, insights and guidance which you provided made my visit to Maui one which I will never forget - even though memories of Maui are now competing with 40 degree temperatures and
dozens of email messages! For me, the simple fact that technology enables people to experience the underwater environment is a miracle in itself. Just being there is a sensory overload. And it takes years of diving to get past that stage and become intimately attuned to the detailed
beauty and diversity of life on a reef -- a goal that I am still trying to achieve. However, with your help (and your contagious excitement), I am somewhat closer to that goal. For that, Rene’, more than anything, Mahalo.
