Below review proof us right!  Well done Boris....

"Dear Sir.
On April the 15 this year, I had the great pleasure of diving at the Phi Phi island from one of your boats.
During my first dive that day I suddenly felt a tremble and a noise, like I was loosing air from my BCD, Boris was my instructor, and I gave him the sign, that I am going up.
I was on 7-8 meters, Boris a little lower, but he came at me like a rocket, grab my ankle and pulled me down, and made me look at him, to calm me, he made me look up and then I realized what was going on, a big boat was passing right over my head.....THANKS BORIS.
I will recommend your company anywhere at any time wherever I can. Your crew members are really professionals
Thanks again
sincerely yours
John Eriksen
