Owner and Operator
Peace
Eric:
At least four reasons why I would strongly urge divers to chose PEACE for 
their next dive boat to the Channel Islands:
(1) When you forget a necessary piece of equipment like a weight belt, the 
crew scrounges around and finds one for you to use that was left by a 
previous diver.
(2) When you make incomplete adjustments to that same weight belt, have it 
slip off your hips at 70 feet, grab it, surface and yell for help, the crew 
is there to take the belt off your hands and help you board.
(3) When you show signs of fatigue and think you can make that fourth dive 
against a strong current, they advise you that you should not make that dive.
(4) When you find yourself down current at the bow after a dive and you are a 
little tired, they are their to throw you a tube to assist you to the stern.
The above reasons are added to the great, better than home, cooking, the help 
with your equipment, the supplying you with O-rings for your regulator and 
the filling of your tank even before you place your ring tag on your tank.
Finally in closing, to be more specific as to the trip that I took to be able 
to make these comments, your decision to take the 26 SAN FRANCISCO REEF 
DIVERS to Catalina where the diving was terrific even though you had to go 
another 20 or 30 miles beyond what the trip called for should be reason 
enough for making PEACE your next trip to Santa Cruz Island Anacapa or 
whatever.
Sincerely,
Dick Dannells

Subject: Thanks

Dear Eric, Crew,

Just a short thank you note to say what a great time we had diving with you. It all started with my wife and I having a difficult time getting from Northern California (Eureka) down to Southern
California via United with much difficulty. We were concerned about a short cancellation policy and being charged for a trip we couln't take due to the airlines incompetence. Cindy, you were great, you understood our predicament, and assured us that what ever hapend, that we could work it out.
Well, we hung with it, and after a day of airport hell, we made the boat by midnight. And, it was well worth it!! Wednesday, San Miguel!.
It was not ideal conditions, but as Eric said, "Your supposed to be advanced divers, so let's not let the conditions ruin the fun" Well, compared to SFO the day before this was paradise to me and Debbie, and I'll go out on a limb and say that it sure seemed that way to everyone on board. Four dives in some not so great conditions, but a great day just the same. A special thanks to the crew for keeping it upbeat and positive when we hit the deck at 6 AM with the adverse conditions.
Thursday, Anacapa. Kirk called it for us when he said, after San Miguel on Wednesday, Anacapa will seem like the tropics. Okay, it wasn't Cozemel, but it was certainly a huge contrast to the day before. Another great day with a new group of people. Three fun dives, good food and good
company!( I find that divers almost always are ) The thing that impressed me most about the Peace was that the people involved, meaning owners Cindy and Eric and everyone employed,
were there because they enjoyed what they were doing. I want to say profesional, but it was more like there was a passion for what they do, as apposed to a purpose. And, I like that!!
A special thanks to the deck crew, Ali (hope you have fun in New York and congradulations), Kirk (your smile is one in a million), and Bob ( I get the feeling that you are happiest when you are around anything remotely connected to diving ) You all helped to make a great trip. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the galley and the fine meals that were created there. Believe me it was well appreciated! Once again, Cindy and Eric, thanks for a good time. keep up the tradition, and you
will always have a full boat!

Until Next Time,

Debra Vosevich and Thomas Keller
