Chris took my wife and I out for an amazing day in the water! Booking and communication before the trip was straight forward and clear. Even with our inconsistent work schedules he was able to give us multiple options. We were able to find a day that worked for us in a mixed group dive trip. Departing from the ramp was smooth and seamless. The boat was clean, organized and up to date with all safety equipment. He did a great job of briefing us on boat safety and gave us a good outline of what the day would look like. As we were pulling into the first dive location he went over tips and tricks to land a King fish, and also covered the buddy system for safe diving practices. With his expertise and continuous positive attitude I was lucky enough to get my first kingi by the end of the day! By the time I got it to the surface Chris was by my side to help me dispatch and bleed the fish and get it on ice as soon as possible, making sure the eating quality stays as good as possible! We had a great, long day of diving. All in all it was an amazing experience, great value for money!
Marlborough Dive Tours is a fantastic operation run by a very experienced and professional operator (Chris). We had a fantastic day on the water and Chris' tips and spots ensured that we got two good sized kingies by the end of the day. Very good value for money, would highly recommend.
Incredible day out with them chasing Kingfish. Chris was amazing in sharing his knowledge and the day was very well organised. He gave us all awesome support with dive gear entering and exiting the water and went above and beyond to make sure we were all getting the best opportunities to land our first Kingies. We saw plenty and I managed to shoot my first and second. An absolutely fantastic experience and would highly recommend diving with them!
The lads and I went out with Chris and had our longest dive session we've ever done in a day and it went without a hitch, all thanks to Chris' organisation of the day and of the boat. When you're in and out at multiple spots with four divers, floats, lines and guns - things are usually flying everywhere but not on the Descend! Surprisingly, fatigue didn't hit us until around the 4th spot, most likely because Chris was hydrating us with thirst quenching watermelon electrolytes, fueling us with protein muesli bars and giving us the encouragement we needed 💪🏼
Great communication, advice on how to lure and land a green back, yarns and banter from a top skipper - what more could you want? Amazing value for money? Chuck it on the list! Can't speak highly enough of Chris
In the end, we were unlucky that the boys didn't get on, but that's just how it is with the cooler weather coming in - luckily for me though, I speared my first kingi 🤣 ngā mihi nui, thank you very much Chris! See you next year to get us all on yeeeow! 🎉
Best charter I’ve been on. Good idea doing diving tours around Marlborough at a good price. First time shooting a kingi and the adrenaline was definitely pumping. Will be back for more!
We were a group of free dive newbies and Chris’s tuition was great and we had all speared our first fish within a couple of hours of being in the water. Had an awesome day in a beautiful part of the world, we will be back again next year 🙂🐟🐠
