Greg

 Just a quick mail to thank you and your team for a great weekend. As we haven't been diving for almost 5 years (can't believe it) we decided to use SBLSC for our first weekend back in the water. The service for you and your staff was great even though it was such a busy weekend. Also say thanks to Prince and Ben the beach controller.

Hi Greg and Bronwyn, 

Firstly, thank you to yourselves and your team for the excellent and professional service we received whilst we were down there on our visit!! Our friends Mike and party have said that you have set the standard, and that for all future trips to Sordies they will only use you. 

Attached the photo of Dennis with his mask upside down!! We were just coming up to the back line when Elphas spotted a huge whaleshark, and after a hectic few minutes of getting rid of the life jackets, finding and fitting fins and masks, and getting the various cameras passed around, Dennis was the first into the water. After the whaleshark decided to move off, we started to enthusiastically discuss our experience on the surface. That's when I noticed that Dennis's mask was on upside down. In the excitement and frantic doffing and donning, he had not even noticed his error. To top it all, he insisted it didn't even leak!! 

Anyway, thank you again!! We are planning to come down again when the weather is cooler, and will let you know well in advance. If you would like us to do any shopping or bring anything down for you, you are most welcome to let us know, and it will be our pleasure to do so.

Best regards,

Hans and Annie.

Hi Greg

Just wanted to drop you an email and thank you and your team for an absolutely amazing weekend of diving. Sheryl and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were bowled over by the enthusiasm of you and your team. I believe many a corporate can come down and learn a helluva lot from you and your team about team work.

For me the ultimate was the shark dive you took us on on Monday morning, what can I say ?

After the dives, when I used to sit on the boat and chat to Elphas, geez, did I learn a lot from him ! And such a wonderful and gentle person !

And last but by no means least - Dennis ! What can I say ? He is utterly amazing, I have NEVER come across anyone in the dive industry with his knowledge, enthusiasm, willingness or that wide grin of his ! Best you really look after him, he would be an asset in ANY organisation.

From now on, there will be no more Mozambique or Umkomaas for me or Sheryl, you guys have converted us to Sodwana ! The only regret I have is that it took us so long to come down and visit you.

Once again, many thanks

Mike

Hi to all that has made our week's stay an unforgettable one. Diving in Sodwana was a huge departure from our normal diving in PE. The professionalism and ethusiasm of the staff added to a great experience in a relaxed diving environment.

Thank you to all the nice people we met: James (for taking care of all our kit), Greg, Kirstie, Isiah, Karl, Bronwyn (bringing order to chaos), Elphas and all others that introduced themselves but whose names I can't recall.

Here's to seeing you all again soon.

Hi Nina

Firstly, I would like to thank you very much for making the booking for Meridian over the last long weekend ; you were quick to respond to all my emails!

Many thanks to Greg and his dive team - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the Zulu divemasters and skippers were great, cheerful and very helpful.

Thanks Greg for doing the photo course over the weekend - the divers loved it and sure learnt a lot!

Hi Heather

Just a short note of thanks for the week we just spent diving with you

guys.

As it was our first sea diving, we started off on Sunday with some

intrepidation.

Thanks to the great DMs, Brett, Payge and Karl, who explained what the

reef looked like and what we were most likely to see, we were soon at

ease in the big bad ocean.

I still don't know how our skipper, Andreas, gets every drop right

without the aid of GPS or a Sonar device!

It was great diving with an organization who know what there are doing

and have staff which are friendly and helpful.

We hope to see you again in November and spend another great week

diving with you guys.

Regards

Jimi Smith

Thanks very much your patience & for looking after me during my

holiday & diving. It was a most enjoyable experience and great to

meet you all. I even enjoyed seeing the shark, even though I

thought I would freek if we encountered one but the ultimate was the

dolphins, it is an experience I will never forget.

 

Thanks once again. I hope I will be back soon.

Subject:            Excellent service  

Just a quick e-mail to let you know of some really good service.

My husband and I have dived many times and all around the world although not recently.  So when we did a refresher course after 6 years we were slightly anxious.

Our Dive Master, Lisa Armstrong, made our diving a Sodwana absolutely

fabulous.  She took time to explain the reefs, tell us what to expect and

when we were down diving went to great lengths to attract our attention to show us various sea life.

The other seasoned divers we were with were as impressed and all

Commented on how good she was in comparison to the usual Dive Masters.

Our Skipper, Abe, was also a pleasure.  Dropping us exactly on the spot everytime.

Please extend our thanks to both, especially Lisa.  She has certainly set a standard at Sodwana Bay Lodge.

Kind Regards

Bridgette and Richard Piper
