Dived off her over the Queens Jubilee weekend (2002/3??) on a 4 day trip. We stayed in their B+B for the duration. The skipper was a top guy who knew his stuff & always got us on the wrecks first time!

From what I remember the B+B was a bit basic but for a group of mid twenty year old male divers it was spot on. The skipper even helped us cook a chofin big lobster that we caught.

The boat was ok, a bit too much desil fumes for one or two of the group & no lift at the time (may have changed??) but other than that she was fine.

I think we payed around £190 for 4 days diving & B+B!! :-)

All in all I recommend her

Hope this helps

Used him last year to do four wrecks over two days.

He does not suffer fools gladly, this was no problem for our group, we got on fine with him and are using him again next week.

He took us to where we wanted to go, shotted it first time, (ok, two of the dives were scyla and JEL) and had the kettle on when we got back.

We used his accomodation which was fine and took his lunches which were good also.

He had put a lift on the week before we used him but took it off again as he wasn't happy with it, he was planning to try again the following week so I am sure it will be in place now.

The boat was ok for us, but if you were all on twins it could be a bit tight with 12 divers. Cover was limited, so better weather is good, and storage space a bit tight too.

Overall I rekon he was good, I have to say they cause we are going back.

A mate says this about the Cee King (apologies to anyone who runs a resturant in Plymouth :

"Richard King and wife Christine. Breakfast always at 8 30.

Richard one of the most experienced skippers, a rough diamond. Boat basic with a side lift (a bit unusual). The club normally use him twice a year for weekends, if you see him give my regards.

They also have 2 beautiful girls (extremely partial to a bag of sweets).

Eat outside of Plymouth cos it is a tip."

Richard King can be a bit sharp, but he is a good skipper.

I have seen him run his boat up alongside a yacht that was determined to sail straight through a cluster of DSMBs.

So someone to have on your side.
