Comments	I have dived with Dive Tutukaka for more than two decades - they are the "Gold Standard" by which I judge all other dive operators around the world. Their service is consistently great - friendly, "can do" attitude from all staff, thanks to outstanding leadership from Kate Malcolm & Jeroen Jongens. They look after people extremely well, so that I, with 50 years scuba experience and a beginner who has just passed their Open Water Diver course are both going to get a great diving experience at the Poor Knights Islands. My previous trip this year, in April, included one day of diving that I would put in my 'Top 10' ever - that's how good the PKI diving can be! YOU NEED AN OPTION FOR "DRYSUIT" ON THIS FORM - WE DON'T ALL JUST GO DIVING IN THE TROPICS. IN FACT, MUCH OF THE BEST DIVING IN THE WORLD IS IN TEMPERATE/COLD WATERS !!
