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.

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
