This week we also want welcome back Tristan & Carmen, who were both with us in 2008. However, Tristen was with us back in 2001, he was actually our very first guest that we took diving as Two Fish Divers, in the days before we had finished the dive center and when we had only 1 boat, 1 dive guide, and Nigel was teaching. How things have changed!
