What others have said about it:

"We thought it was interesting and as fellow divers from the local area, we particularly enjoyed hearing about the way in which the wreck was explored. The information was presented well and in a humble manner. There was no boasting despite the hard work, skill and determination involved". Sue - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026.

"It was fascinating, the passion and breath of knowledge of the gentleman giving the talk was astounding" . Lilian - Walk & Talk visitor, March 2026
