Customer comment:
Just a quick note to let you know that
during our recent trip to Roatan that the service provided by the
staff and in particular Osman was superb, he truly is a valuable
asset to your operation.
Osman clearly is highly experienced as demonstrated by how he served
the needs of both experienced and novice divers alike, it was truly
a pleasure to dive with him.
I have over 25 years diving experience and have dove with many, many
operations in the Caribbean so I have some basis of comparison for
my observations.
Please pass along our thanks to him and all of the staff at Subway.
