We are always interested in what you have to say and welcome any comments you may have.

From Clare Doyle...
Hi Arthur
A big thank you for the outstanding service I recieved from yourself and
the team at SDS. I was given great personalised advice right from my first
telephone enquiry.
Everyone was happy to share their wealth of knowledge
and experience and nothing was too much trouble, with you pulling out all
the stops to get me what I wanted within 48hrs! Everyone remaining helpful
and freindly even though I'm sure you kept the shop open late! All this
and a far better price than I could find anywhere else.
Many thanks to you all once again..I'll be back!
From Adam Young...
Dear Arthur & Adam,
This is just a brief note to say many thanks for the great service you gave us and for 'pulling out the stops' to get the XS Scubapro BCD sent through to us before our holiday ended, and we had to leave the UK.
I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
Kind regards
From Jim...
Hi Arthur
I just wanted to thank you so much for sending all my gear so quickly and for making it up/testing it etc.I would like to thank you and your staff for the recent service we had.
We recently had a couple of twinsets and a single cylinder tested. It may seem a simple one, however, there was a bit of messing about on the phone arranging it all (all on my behalf), the whole process of booking them in and getting receipts was painless and professional.
The cylinders were professionally serviced with professional paperwork provided. The cost was fair and all in all it was an excellent service. In my experience this level of service is 'far and between' in the dive industry at the moment. So much that I felt compelled to write this email.
We haven't been to SDS in a couple of years due to the distance. It's fair to say that you will be seeing much more of us, our club and hopefully anyone else we recommend you too. Thanks for the experience and I will certainly be telling everyone of the service I received and the value of SDS on the dive boats this season.
Cheers
From Tony...
Hi Arthur,
Just a note to thank you for taking the time in guiding me towards the correct camera and housing that I recently purchased off you.
Your personal knowledge of the system coupled with an understanding of what I wanted/required made the purchase a lot easier than I anticipated.
Having now used the system I can tell you that I am delighted with the results. Once again, many thanks for your advice and understanding.
Cheers

From Debbie...
Hi Ian
I received the suit and mask today. Both are great, I'm really happy! I just wanted to commend SDS Watersports on your 1st class customer service.
I first placed an order with you because you offered the products I wanted much cheaper than I could find anywhere else. Not only that, I had questions about my order beforehand - you were totally professional both on the phone and via email and went out of your way to see if it was possible to fulfill my order, when it came to returning the wetsuit to swap for a different size you were brilliant, no problems and super quick, even hurrying up the out of stock mask to get it to me on time before I go away.
People are quick enough to shout when something goes wrong but often forget if they receive great service so this is my THANK YOU to you. Keep it up, I'll certainly be recommending you guys to my dive buddies.
All the best

From Ian Johnson...
To Arthur
Thanks again, to you and all your Staff at SDS! Once again, you’ve proved that you are without doubt, the Best Dive Store in the UK (and I’ve visited a few!!
I called to see you with an Emergency Job, my Twin Tanks had been Manifolded (and trashed) by another Dive Shop (which is, close to us on the Derby/Notts Border), who thought it would be preferable to fall out with me, rather than fix their fault (they have a reputation for this kind of behaviour).
You mobilised-your-forces and not only repaired the faults, but set up the Twin Tanks for a Test Dive that Night!!
Amongst other things: the Twin Tanks were levelled-up (they had been bouncing around the Table when I brought them in!) The Kent Tooling Bracket, was: realigned (the right way up!) and straightened to slot-in with the Harness Plate (this was then spaced-off the Wing and fitted tight, with Stainless Steel Bolts!
The Manifold was repaired (it was supposed to be Brand New?) with a New Valve Seat (the original Dive Shop said there was nothing wrong with it.
You and your Lads, then set up the Whole Rig: Inflator/Direct Feed, Dual SPG’s, Reg. Hoses (including adapting one of the Apeks to a LH feed)...Job done! And ready for that Evening...this is on Equipment you had not even supplied yourself!
No one could get that Service on the Internet, you can’t beat coming into the Shop and meeting the Staff, including: getting a First Class job done.
I am an SDS Fan for Life and would always recommend you to other Divers. To that end, please feel free to use my comments, as you wish, to promote SDS and confirm your commitment to Quality, to others.
Kind regards.

From Jill Trevor...
To all at SDS
I just wanted to say - a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful service and attention I received last weekend when purchasing my BCD + drysuit. It wasn't about buying - you really cared I was properly fitted + happy. I can't wait to try the equipment out!
My particular thanks to older Ian for endless patience + wonderful advice, and Younger Ian for making me so welcome and making my dream financially viable.
I'll see you again soon!

From Dr Huw Jones...
Dear Adam
Just a brief note of thanks for the excellent service from yourselves and Suunto on the faulty tank pressure transmission on my D9. Even though the fault was discovered during the warranty period, the warranty has expired and I am still getting service as if the warranty was in place.
This gives me great faith in SDS and Suunto and will certainly buy from yourselves and Suunto again. I am diving with the computer next week and hope to report that all will be working well.
Kind regards,
Sincerely

From Richard and Jean...
Hi Arthur,
Just got back from Oban, had a good 4 days up there, diving was good but weather wet, very wet to soggy, in fact it never stopped raining.
By the way, both suits are great for diving, Jean loves hers and it dries in no time. At some point though, I may need to get a smaller neck seal on mine as it must have been originally cut for someone of neck size 16 (5th line on the seal) and I am a 15. I got rather wet on second dive to depth (first dive was shallow to test all kit), but I am going to try something that Pam has to pad it out a bit( a neck band to stop irritation but suspect it may not work and will have to get new seal.
The computer is brilliant and the delayed SMB is dead easy to use as you said and was also good to lie on waiting for boat. The only thing I did not try, and hope that I never need to is my air horn, but I have the peace of mind knowing that it is there. So all in all, you have provided us with very good sound advice and some great kit thanks.
See you soon.

From Sarah...
Hi Arthur,
I just wanted to thank you so much for sending all my gear so quickly and for making it up/testing it etc.
I a delighted with it.............and itching to go diving!
I am going to need a reg adapter so will call the shop to puirchase. It seems my first outing with all the gear may be Thailand where DIN is less common and I would hate to be left ashore!
It's been a real pleasure in doing business with you & SDS.
Thanks again
