In early spring of 2011 we completed our Open Water class material and the associated pool sessions. We were missing the Open Water dives required to become SSI certified. Since it was still snowing here in Michigan, it would have been kind of hard to complete these dives in a frozen Lake Michigan. We had a vacation planned for Aruba in late spring. Through some careful ground work, we were referred to Clive Paula at Dive Aruba as a dependable, experienced PADI dive instructor. We scheduled our dives with Clive ahead of time and had our local dive shop coordinate all the paperwork prior to the trip. Even though Dive Aruba’s dive boat was in for scheduled maintenance, Clive accommodated our tight schedule and arranged a wonderful set of shore dives. He is a very professional and experienced dive operator with a main focus on safety and customer satisfaction. He made us feel relaxed and at ease. It was clear from day one that Clive at Dive Aruba was going to be our regular operator of choice in Aruba. This Christmas we are planning another trip to Aruba and again we will be diving with Clive. Both Iselle and I are ecstatic with these upcoming boat dives. Let it snow (here in Michigan), yet we will be basking in the sun and exploring the blue waters surrounding the beautiful island of Aruba with the trusted guidance of Clive. Thank you very much Clive and we looking forward to many more splendid dives with you.

I just got my open water certification in August, and Clive took me out for my first Caribbean dive last Monday. It was an unforgettable experience. There were only 6 of us out for a 2-tank dive trip, and I was one of the least experienced divers. Our first dive took us to a wreck in about 90' -- the deepest I've been so far. I used air faster than the more experienced divers that were with us, but Clive helped me make the most of it, and got me back on the boat without interfering with the dive time of the others who had a lot more experience and wanted to extend their dives longer. With a little guidance from Clive, I was able to extend my bottom time on the second dive as long as everyone else. Every time I visit Aruba, I will definitely book dives with Clive. He and his assistant, Matt, made us all feel comfortable and welcome. And even though my first dive was shorter than it ought to have been because of my own air consumption, I was still down on the wreck longer than divers with the other guide company, who went down after us, and were loading back up on the boat even before this rookie ran low on air. Clive won't rush you, but will ensure you are safe and have a great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Clive is great! Between the two of us, we dove 5 times (10 tanks). Clive was personable and very attentive, as was his son, Mark. LONG dive times (about 45 minutes to an hour each). Dives were to a variety of wrecks and reefs teeming with lots of fish and a variety of coral formations. Two fabulous drift dives. Clive's boat accommodates only 7 divers so the experience is very personal. We never felt rushed or like cattle as we sometimes have with some of the larger boats.

Just returned from 2 weeks in Aruba, having dived with Clive for five days. I would thoroughly recommend Clive and Dive Aruba, great knowledge and guidance, a small and personal service with very good quality gear. Long dives, many over an hour, very flexible. If we return to Aruba I will definitely dive with Clive
