Thanks, Rick.
I hope I wasn’t too over-the-top with the group. Everything I said
about you and Rick’s I meant. You are the tops as far as I and PADI
are concerned. We could kibitz about the relative merits of the
literal handful of stores in your category, but it would just be
talking’. It’s a distinct pleasure to work with you and if there’s
anything I or PADI can do to assist you. Thanks again. |

| The
trip to Little Cayman in August was absolutely outstanding. Tom
Styles did a great job as our trip leader. We all appreciate him
very much. The staff at the Little Cayman Beach Resort and Reef
Divers was fantastic. The accommodations were great; the food was
great, and the diving incredible!! Our Divemasters, Bennie and
Sharon, kept us organized they were fun and ensured our safety.
Cindy and I are ready to sign up for the the next Little Cayman
trip. Again, much of the seamless coordination during the trip is
due to Tom Styles, trip leader. Robyn did a great job putting this
trip together. Rick, it's service like this that makes Rick's the
best store! |

| Wow!
Just completed the open water diver class and I was very impressed.
Dennis Barber the instructor and was very informative. I would
recommend that anyone that want lessons go to Rick's and ask to take
the class that Dennis was teaching. He had plenty of patience and
answered all of my questions. The class gave me the confidence i
needed. |

| The
staff and instructors at Rick's are absolutely the best! My class
and open water dives would not have been the same if I had gone
anywhere else. They know what they are doing and are able to
translate that knowledge to an awesome hands on learning
environment. Thanks guys!!! Can't wait till my next class! |

| Hi
Robyn, this is Brandon Davis. I have just completed my first weekend
with the instructors and dive masters form your store. I just wanted
to let you guys know that all of the guys that helped out did an
outstanding job. The instructors, Dennis and Dave, were very
thorough and helpful. The dive masters, Mark and Fred, were always
ready and willing to lend a helping hand. All of the guys displayed
a very positive attitude. I think that these men represented your
company and the diving community well. Thank you very much for
sending such great people to work with us. |

| I
wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I enjoyed the
class that I attended this weekend. Mark was a great instructor. He
made things easy to understand, and was very patient. He made a
tough weekend very enjoyable. Anthony had interesting stories and
was quick with advice or assistance (especially if you put your mask
on your forehead!!). Thanks for a great experience. |

| Hey
Rick, It has been a while. I keep up with you guys through your
newsletter and I hope all is going well for you in Arkansas. We had
a gal (Heather) on the Turks boat during the Liquidassets TV pilot
shoot that was trained through Rick’s Dive “N Travel Center. She now
lives in Arizona but has continued diving after two moves to
different states. She made a few dives with Nick Lucey from Scuba
Diving magazine and myself and we were extremely impressed. She only
had a few dives under her belt and was more in control than some
with several hundred. I don’t know if she is a natural or if all
your students come out diving that way but either way it was a good
reflection on your Dive Center. I hope to see you all this week at
DEMA! |

| We
finished our open water dive on Lake Ouachita, Oct. 11 & 12th! Boy
was that an experience of a LIFETIME!!! All the instructors were
very professional with "Scuba Steve" leading the way! There were
friendships made that I hope will last a long time. There were many
laughs as the instructors kept everything light and fun! Several
instructors earned their Dive Master Certificates that day as
well...Congrats to Fred, Kelly, and Robert!!! They all deserve it! I
can't say enough about the professionalism and fun all these
instructors are! |

can’t thank you enough for the level of professionalism and
sincerity that was displayed during the certification process from
all staff members. We are excited about future dives and hope to
have a lasting relationship with the facility. Thank you again for
your enthusiasm. |

| PADI
should be proud of Rick's Dive 'N Travel Travel Center in North
Little Rock Arkansas Who would believe that a little land locked
State would have such a high class professional operation like
Rick's? I am currently enrolled in Rick's PADI Divemaster course and
have my sites on being an Instructor. |

| I
contacted Rick's to see about scuba lessons/certifications for my
husband and I. We had a travel opportunity to St. Marrten coming up
and we had already done a resort course in the Turks/Provo islands
last year and really enjoyed it! After speaking to Tom, Rick, Robin,
and Sandy we were convinced we had made the right choice in a diving
center! They were all so friendly and helpful...no pressure at all!
After taking the open water course we are both sooo excited that we
can't wait until spring to begin more courses! They made everything
so comfortable and easy! I just can't say enough about Mark Loose
who was my instructor!!! He is funny, as well as professional! He
was so patient with the one's that were having a little trouble at
first. He made everyone feel successful and confident in the end
with are new knowledge and skills! Thanks to all of you! YOUR THE
GREATEST!I can't wait to go on some dive trips with you guys! |
