Under Pressure, Falmouth

[sch]

Anyone been on this boat? What's she like?

Been offered the chance to use her next year so was just wondering if it was any good.

Cheers,

Simon,

I haven't seen it about much this year, but anyway I haven't dived on it and never will.

Word is that the skipper likes to shout alot at his customers, apparently.

If it's Falmouth in particular you want to go from I'd use Redeemer, not CD.

What a load of tosh!!!!!

If you're going to give a bad response then at least do it from your own experience!!!

Have a red

I've Dived off Under pressure several times and found Steve to a nice friendly skipper who knows his dive sites well.
Very nice boat, I'd not hesitate to book on this boat again, indeed I will next year.

Agreed, complete rubbish. I have dived with Steve loads of times and he has always gone out of his way to look after us all. He'd be the first boat I called if I was looking to book Falmouth again.

The boat is nice, if a little limited space-wise as its a pleasure cruiser type thing that Steve converted for diving, just means you have to be fairly organised. Superb lunch too.

Good for you.

I would just like to know why, if he is sooooo good a skipper, that no-body locally uses him?

Like I said, I have not dived on the boat myself, but knowing his practises in other areas of his business, I choose not too.

Jack and Paul, please read the last word I wrote the last word in my second sentence; 'Apprently'.

I've heard this from more than one reliable local source in the past, more than once, and knowing the bloke, I believe it.

There are atleast 2 other dive boats going out of falmouth, UP is the only one I don't have 1st hand experience of myself.

Epic - to be fair saying that you would not use a skipper because he shouts a lot would rule out rather a lot of good skippers that I know

Always best to base a recommendation (or not) on personal experience really.

Er, where did I say that?

I said that I wouldn't use the bloke and that he apparently shouts alot.

I never said I wouldn't use him because he shouts.

Thanks Epic for calling me a prick and giving me a red.

I kindof expected that kind of reaction based on your willingness to slag off some-one with no personal knowledge of the issue.

Thanks for nothing.
