Love the Blue Maomao screen-very cool. Planning to be up your way again early next year and bring my son and his fiance,who have been diving off the Mozambique/Tanzania/Zanzibar coast in the last month, to show off the Poor Knights.

In Jan about 6 of us from the Royal Air Force Target Rifle Team (UK) came out with you for diving and snorkelling.

Firstly I must say we had a great time.  On departure I took the attached photograph which to me shows what a supremely well motivated team you have.  The guest in the picture, Karen Ryan, was awarded the T shirt.  Her claim to fame was that she didn’t even like getting her face wet in the shower, but you introduced her successfully to snorkelling.
