Customer reviews:
"My bouyancy is really bad and I didn't expect Thistlegorm to have so many small compartments! Very thankful to have a very patient & encouraging diving instructor. He carried me through small windows, doors and wall cracks during the dive and allow me to hook onto him. He wants more people to enjoy diving rather than be discouraged & give up diving totally. He is a very passionate diver!" - Tan, Singapore, 6 March 2023 ...Customer rating: Excellent!
