Dear Julie, Mitch, Rob, et al. Ron and I had a fabulous time diving with Altons Dive Shop. Everyone is so nice, knowledgeable and \"just go out of their way\" to make a person\'s diving experience so memorable. We didn\'t get to say good bye to Julie and enjoyed every conversation we had. I wish we could have sat down and shared a bottle of wine but everyone was sooooo busy. Mitch was so concerned that everyone always had a good time. I really enjoyed the trip to the north side on my last dive day; disappointed Ron chose not to dive but I had an experience of my lifetime. Jerry was phenomenal. He came in to complete our Wreck certification dives on New Years just so we could go to Cayos Cochinos on the 2nd before we departed on the 3rd. Thanks for letting him join us (me). We really wanted to dive with him. I was able to experience his spear fishing for lion fish even though I didn\'t end up in his dive group. He brings a lot of excitement to a dive boat and I am grateful to have had him as our Dive Instructor for the Wreck course. He\'s no push over and takes teaching seriously. Ron and I really enjoyed the course. Chris was also great. I ran his patience short and gave him a mouth full of curses but I think I stepped up to the plate on our rescue dives. Gabriela was a great Dive Master. Belle is a ball of energy and a cutie. You have a great staff and I know they come and go but again, this was definitely a memorable trip. Ron wants to become a Dive Master (and through Utila). Maybe we\'ll be back on the island and hope to spend it with you. Rob was fabulous. Always trying to accommodate everyone\'s needs and was so helpful in making arrangements for our stay at Rubi\'s Inn. I loved the hot water. We met great people and will cherish this trip with fond memories. Everyone, have a wonderful 2011 and may our paths cross again. You have taken my diving experience to the next level. Love you all.
