Her people skills are top-notch and her ability to take care of the minutiae during a dive trip has been honed from many successful adventures. She has the professional diving background needed to determine whether a dive resort/vessel will give maximum enjoyment and provide it safely. Last but not least, Lisa is completely trustworthy and you can depend on her to smooth out the ever present travel hassles so you can concentrate on a fabulous diving vacation."

Hey Everyone
I just returned from my 2nd dive adventure with the "Just Go Scuba" Tribe to the Turneffe island resort in Belize. What an exhilarating experience,5 Star all the way. Lisa Olsen is a true professional in diving & adventure planning. Since my first trip with the "Just Go Scuba" group, I have made some pretty amazing friends, along the way, who are now my extended family in a small world. It appears to be very contagious!! (the Diving "mojo" that this groups shares). So if an Exceptional dive adventure with fun filled laughter, great memories and some BFFL is what you seek, then join "Just Go Scuba" it will be the best decision you will ever make. Cheers Scuba Steve" -Steve Camacho Oakville, Ontario |
"We recently returned from the Turneffe Island Resort and just wanted to say “thank you” to Lisa for organizing such an amazing diving adventure. Her energy, travel experience and kindness helped make it one of the best vacations we've ever had. That was our first trip with Just Go Scuba and we both had a brilliant week staying in paradise and diving with wonderful people. We give our four fins up :) and look forward to having more diving trips with Just Go Scuba."

"I have had the pleasure to have known Lisa for many years. She has been in my "dive life" for basically all of it. She was there when i was first certified, and she trained me to be a PADI instructor! I also had the privilege to work alongside her at a Diveshop, certifying many happy divers. That was a few lifetimes ago... and while my life took me away from diving as a job, Lisa has always remained doing what she loves, certifying many divers, sharing her expertise and gift with others. No matter how much time passes, Lisa is LISA. You always know what you're going to get. Lisa is an expert in her field and also an amazing trip planner. This past October, I was lucky enough to to dive with her and our amazing group in Utila, Honduras, through Just Go Scuba. It was one of the best dive/trip experience of my life! She takes care of every detail on her Just Go Scuba trips to ensure that the divers' experience is stress free, organized and that divers have all the resources needed to have a safe, fun, and amazing experience! I can't wait for the next adventure, Lisa is one of a kind friend, travel companion, who has definitely mastered the art of the Dive Trip. JUST GO SCUBA, already!"

"I've been on many dive trips that have been planned and organized by Lisa and am looking forward to many more. Our travels have included both land based and liveaboard dive trips from California, Baja, Costa Rica, Belize, the Virgin Islands and others. Lisa attends to every detail of the trip from the minute of departure to our return to make it the best experience for everyone. We've seen many species of sea life including whale sharks, lionfish, hammerheads, turtles, rays, sea horses, and little Nemos. These diving trips are the best and I am very grateful for the friendships and memories that have been created and will last a lifetime! Thank you Lisa!!"

Her trips are amazing.... and just keep getting better and better!!!! Lisa is a professional in every sense of the word and yet, a charming vibrant companion! Such a joy to be with and share the beauty and wonders of the ocean!"

If you're looking for fun, laughter and an overall great experience then taking a trip with Lisa at the helm is one for you. I went on such scuba diving trips to Fiji, Cozumel, La Paz and Cocos Island to name a few, and her effort and experience showed not only on the preparedness of the trip, but with the expressions that showed on everyone's face before, during and after the trip. I would highly recommend a trip put on by Lisa."

Wow, as a first timer with this group I had some hesitations but those hesitations were for nothing. I went just for the diving but made some new friends and had a great time in Belize in November 2018. The group of 16, 8 Canadians and 8 Americans stayed away from politics and had a lot of fun together. I would dive with any and all of you again.
Until the next time,David" -David Kerr St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada |
"We have known Lisa for over 15 years when we first started diving, she took two novice divers and turned us into divers that can dive anywhere in world. She has planned and booked our most memorable trips, all of them great and we wouldn't hesitate to travel and dive with her anywhere in the world she is going. Her knowledge of diving and world dive sites has made our many trips with her the absolute best! She is without a doubt the best dive vacation planner in the business. When you travel with her, you become family and your vacation with her will be the most memorable ever!"

Hello, this is Karen Heiser. My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing Lisa Olsen for many years. She's not only been a divemaster and friend but an amazing tour guide and travel planner. She has taken us to many incredible diving destinations... places we've never heard of before like Belize and places we've never dreamed of like a 10 day liveaboard to Cocos Island, Costa Rica. We always had a blast and felt safe with Lisa. Whooo!!"
-Karen and Rick Heiser Oxnard, California |
"O.M.G. I have never in my life had more fun on the open waters and on the bottom of the ocean as I did when going with Lisa on dive trips. Twice we were able to go to La Paz with her leading our group, and I will never forget the diving or the company.
Lisa is a strong advocate of diving and safety and always makes sure that her divers and friends are happy and well taken care of. In LaPaz, dive sites were selected based on all levels of diving experience from novice to advanced. She would literally take you by the hand to show you the amazing animal and sea life that the Sea of Cortez had to offer. Before this trip I went through Pacific Scuba to get my certification. Not only was she very hands on, she allowed my husband to go through the course free of charge (he was already certified) to be my buddy. It was the most amazing experience ever. I will always be in debted to her and her team for showing me what amazing things scuba has to offer. You will never have a dull moment, or a bad dive with Lisa. In fact, I think it might be about time to put the suit on. Happy Diving!" -Dawna Pasmant Oxnard, California |
