Thanks to all at Aqua-Marina

My wife and I did 3 x 2 dives over 3 days in a weeks holiday at Easter 2010. Each one was was a good dive in all it's senses. Marine life, scenery, interesting and fun. We found the water a little bit cold at 19deg.C or is it us? We also, to just cap off some good, diving met the turtle family, and that was stunning, interacting with these creatures was something else. Whether it be sharks, dolphins, turtles or anything else it's always nice when the wild animal is interested in you. These turtles came to us and they weren't fed or tempted in anyway, they were just interested and friendly - stayed with us for half an hour, visiting each of the divers in turn, time and again, and gulping our air bubbles. The big boy wasn't to impressed with me stroking his missus' shell though, and gave my hand a bit of a nip.

We've dived with Aquamarina twice now and, needless to say, this outfit gets my vote for safety, good diving practises, relaxed attitude and making things that little bit better. The new wet centre is great, with lovely hot showers in private cubicles and even shampoo and shower gel provided. And, of course, Steve's pride and joy, the new compressor room, is very impressive.

Roll on next time we can visit, when the boat ladder will have been installed, and we old crocks won't kneed so much help to be heaved back onto the boat.

Best wishes to Steve and Madge and ALL the staff - see you at the Birmingham Dive Show.

P.S.Emma, we went back and had another go at "The Music Lounge" and it was even better than the first time, roll on the day when they get a set of drums.
