What They Say
Jerry & Susan Braet
Dear Carin and Ridlon – Thanks for ANOTHER spectacular trip. In the 14 years we have traveled and dived around the world with you and GDE, you have ALWAYS delivered a first class, top quality adventure experience.
GDE is the best. Your knowledge of the sea, its creatures and the sites we visit is unparalled. Your photographic skills and helpful instructions are terrific.
Your ability to handle anything that comes your way while providing a trouble free atmosphere for your guests is truly amazing. GDE has always provided us with a most enjoyable, professionally run trip. We look forward to traveling with GDE again soon.

“Hi, my name is Gordon Skidds, and I am a GDE diver. Places I had never been and would never have attempted on my own; 5 trips to Tahitian islands, 2 trips to Galapagos, 5 trips to Palau, Chuuk Lagoon, Yap, Fiji, Roatan, Belize, Barbados, Bonaire; 10 Thanksgivings at wonderful Caribbean islands; Knew nothing about photography – GDE taught me underwater photography with the most sophisticated equipment available; GDE taught me diving skills from advanced to master diver during wonderful vacations, incorporating historical and Marine Biology presentations…
I am a GDE diver and will continue to be.

“Check out the smile on my face. How could you not smile when you are in diving paradise (Fiji) with dive guides/organizers extraordinaire, Ridlon and Carin? With Global Dive Expeditions, it’s a given that you’ll see and identify every creature there is to see, learn as much as you choose to learn about the undersea world and have a ton of fun while you’re living in the lap of luxury. How to improve on this mix? Only by adding Mauricio Handler to the entourage, with the opportunity to be entertained by his tales and exploits and to learn a new skill, underwater photography. Diver heaven!

“Well, I have always thought that “GDE” might stand for “god damn excellent”. Meticulous pre-planning, personal attention from the owners, Ridlon and Carin, excellent accommodations and meals, and the best dive sites on the Blue Planet. Diving with whale sharks in the Galapagos was the highlight of my travels in the world.
Liz and Lee Reeser
“You have truly made many people very happy throughout the year. Your dive trips are the best in the world. Keep up the bar way up!
