Brian Fisher,Kate; You may not remember me but you called me a “lovable rogue” I am obviously an Aussie. Janelle and I came into your shop and went diving Poor Knights one day, Janelle snorkelled and I dived. I have dived in these locations at other times: Fiji, Maldives, Solomon Islands, off “True North” out of NW Western Australia Roley Sholes and Cocos Islands but Kate I must say that the diving day with your crew was excellent and one of the best charters I have been on, thank you very much to Glenn, Dawn and Debbie.
