This is a very experienced and customer-oriented shop. Roger is a veteran combat medic so helping veterans is an active effort among other Occoquan community services.

In early 2023, when Jeff and Merial decided it was time to leave the retail dive business that is Patriot Scuba, Roger and Allie knew how much this dive shop meant to them and everyone else connected to it and decided to keep up the tradition of a veteran-run PADI scuba dive shop. As the shop goes through several transitions, please bear with us while we work to give you the best experience while letting the new owners put their spin on things. Can't wait to work with you all and see you in the water! We will still dive every weekend, so please call or email us with any questions.We look forward to making new memories with all of you!

Spoke with Donna and immediately had a more reassurance, sense of honesty and competency. After trekking the extra 40 min to Dale City, i was not disappointed. Informed, high integrity, cordial, polite. Despite living in DC i will go back and will look into diving trips with this establishment. I got a real sense of enjoyment and community when I got my OWD certification with a friend in Puerto Rico and wasn't sure I would find it in the sales/finance driven environment in my city. I got the sense this shop espouses a sense of fellowship and support that will make further exploration of scuba more meaningful. Donna was not rushed; answered all my questions and just told me to "most importantly have fun."

Excellent travel agencies. Although my trip not end yet, but my experience in this trip is…read moretremendously joyful and pleasant. The arrangement of the agency since Cuzco arrival, has escort service all the way. You do not need to fear of lost. Hotel, tour guide, transfer are all excellent. My biggest take home experience are the two items in our own design itinerary. We just need to tell what we really like to see and they have fit the schedule nicely. Other than the transit exchange from Lima, everything is great. Our request are the Puno Candelaria Festival, Cusco-Machu Picchu and western Amazon. We have the reserved seat at the festival and we enjoy the Candelaria competition parade. Very colorful. No float but all by human colorful costumes. The dance is very powerful. This festival is part of UNESCO cultural heritage. Machu Picchu is newly voted seven wonders of the world. If you see the mountains on the backside, just turn 90 degrees counterclockwise and you will see the Inca Face. This world heritage is my check out list to do. That is one my highlight of this trip. The arrange tour guide was courteous. The third leg is Amazon expedition. The lake fishing for piranha is a big highlight. Our guide demonstrates the sharp teeth of the piranha bite through the leave. The night walk is amazing. A lot of insects, snake and frogs. The tower above the the rainforest allow easy access above all trees. We saw red monkey on the tip of the tree. Parrot is famous here. They certainly a beautiful creature who fly. These birds come the lick the clay for mineral they need. My experience with the agency is perfect. I would recommend to use them if you have plan to travel to Peru. Tips - Candelaria festival is at February which is raining season. I recommend this time because of the festival and low tourist season. Machu Picchu is easy access at this time because less people and less heat. A punch hole and umbrella will do the trick. Be aware of pick pocket. Any interior pocket or money belt is good the crowded place. Don't carry wallet if you not need them. Altitude sickness need to consult your doctor before traveling.

Paul and Joanna have been amazing in helping me plan my trip. They were super patient with my changing itirneries and kept sending me Plan A, B ,C...until I was fully satisfied. They were very responsive on Whatsapp and always available to answer all my queries. I had researched a lot and found GTP rates very competitive. A week before travel, Joanna had a detailed video call with me explaining detailed itirnery, what to expect and all necessary things to bring with me. I had booked the international flights but they had booked domestic Lima-Cusco flights, train to Machu Pichu, all entry tickets, car , driver.

My wife and I went to Italy recently to celebrate both of us turning 50 and our 25th wedding…read moreanniversary. In planning the trip, which began about a year prior, we were recommended through a friend to use Asimina Tours; we were put in contact with Dimitri. Right away, Dimitri worked very closely with us to find out what we were interested in seeing, how long we were looking to stay in Italy, and what our budget was. From there, Dimitri, along with his partner Christina, put together an amazing package that allowed us to see all the sights. We went to Venice, Como, Milan, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento. Along the way, we had many day trips, the majority of which were fantastic. From Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Cinque Terre (a favorite), the Vatican, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Capri, it was a once in a lifetime experience and we had the most amazing time. Other highlights of the trip were the wine tasting in Tuscany and the private cooking class in Sorrento. They were also very accommodating with some last minute trip ideas. About 2 months prior to leaving, I had learned that one of my favorite bands, Queens of the Stone Age, were going to be performing in Italy while we were there. We contacted Dimitri and he was able to rearrange our hotel and travel accommodations, including a last minute domestic flight, without any issues. Dimitri and Christina made the entire process run smoothly. All of our travel tickets and hotel reservations were all available through the app. Our hotels were centrally located and were within walking distance from the major attractions. We really appreciated the private transportation arrangements to take us from the hotels to the train stations/airports, as well as the private tours. If you are planning on going to the Mediterranean area of Europe, I would highly recommend using Asimina Tours, they were awesome.

The hotels, unique adventures, and travel arrangements all exceeded our highest expectations, on every level. At the start Stella spoke with us at length to understand all of our needs, preferences, budget, style, priorities... and then - quite uncharacteristically - I left everything completely in her hands. She made all of the right choices and created a trip of a lifetime that we will always remember. And she made it all SO easy and stress free, and even during the trip was available 24/7 with updates and to answer any questions we had, wherever we were. We are so grateful to Stella and can't recommend her highly enough.
