Sian FaulknerI would like to once again thank the crew of El Tigre for offering fantastic service for our New Yrs Eve dives, both myself, my fiance and our Australian friends loved the day. Pure Magic!!! We had the most amazing time even more so as my (now fiance) proposed 15m down in a cave at Brady s corner. The crew gave us a signed book of the Poor Knights to remember our special dive and it really topped off a super day and will be treasured.
I hope to come back again and dive with your team, next time maybe as a married woman with my husband!! It will always be a special place for us as it was such a magical day!
Thanks again!
Happy Diving
