I just want you to know I purchased a dive skin in the leopard print just before my last trip to Jamaica about three weeks ago. Everyone I dove with, plus most of the people on shore who walked by, LOVED it and wanted to know where I got it. Needless to say I had forgotten to take the cards that were so cleverly included with my order. But I gave everyone the website address and I hope you got some sales from it. I LOVE it. Not only is it totally perfect for warm water diving, which is the only kind I do, but it makes me stand out both on the boat and in the water. No more basic black for me! This is especially important for me because my husband doesn't dive and I am usually buddied up with a total stranger - this way at least I know my buddy can find me, even if I am searching for him or her. FABULOUS product, I will be buying more before my next trip.
Hi Sue,
After ordering our first skins from you last year and rushing you to get them altered ASAP, our Texas Flower Gardens trip got blown out by a hurricane. Then we couldn't dive all winter due to my knee surgery so I was beginning to think the skins would never even get wet. This year has been much better! My hubby loves his "Afrique" skin and I adore my "Aqua Biscus", "Abyss" and "Hot-Sui" skins. One of our dive club members has a "Spiderman" skin you custom made for him, which we all envy.
The attached photos of me and my husband, "Pinkey" were taken in June on our annual trip to the Bahamas. The skins will get a workout this fall as we head to the Florida Keys for two months of diving, then on to Bonaire next spring. Needless to say, our dive fashions attract lots of attention, especially when worn by two old "MawMaw and PawPaw" divers like us! The grandkids think we are really cool, too. I love the photo of us with the reef shark; I am always behind the video camera and rarely get a photo of myself, but the other photographers couldn't resist shooting us in our goddess skins so I now have plenty of photos to give to the grandbabies. I'll bet I have given your cards to 20 people this summer!
'Bye now,
Pinkey and Cheryl

I am really looking forward to wearing
your suits. I saw a lady in Cozumel wearing one and she shouted from
the other boat "dive goddess". So here I am. I a planning a
trip down to San Diego in August and then to Costa Rico over the holidays
and
can't wait to see the looks on peoples faces. Hopefully they will enjoy
them too! ....

Have
enjoyed my 3 diveskins thru trips on the Aggressor Fleet in Belize,
Kona, Palau, Fiji and most recently, Utila/Bay
Islands. They are the very best and so much easier to get on and
off, dry quickly and are amazingly durable for being so comfortable.
Always
get
fun reactions to them and have taken sample fabrics you send with
me along with your cards. Amazingly, I have yet to come across anyone
on these Aggressor
trips that have one. . . at least at that time. I'm quite sure I
have
encouraged several people to buy them though. At 58, it's nice
to be covered, look
a little more "slinky" . . . or at least feel that way!
DiveGoddess Forever, T.P.
Wanted to let you know that your suits are famous worldwide. Everyone raves about
them wherever we go; they certainly are an ice breaker and conversation maker. Dive
masters easily spot and remember us, thanks to your suits!

Sue,
Thank you for my new dive skin.
Last week we (my husband and I) were on our honeymoon and went diving in
Costa Maya. As we surfaced and were waiting for the divers to get onto
the boat my husband came up in a pile of little jellyfish. He was stung
all over because all he had on was a pair of jammers. I am very thankful
that he didn't have on his loose swimsuit for I know that the jellyfish
would have found their way into them. I, however, didn't get stung at all
and I was in the same area as he was. In fact, I didn't know there were
jellyfish around us. My divegoddess skin saved me from those pesky critters.
Now that it has been more than a week since he got stung, he is having
another reaction to the sting and is in much discomfort. He hinted to me
that maybe he would like to have a diveskin for Father's Day!

My
husband bought one of your earlier suits...at least 10 years ago. He
loves it and gets all sorts of hilarious comments about it. After retiring
from instructing for 40 years, he has enjoyed just diving for fun and
although he has now gone partially blind, he says he can always see the suit!
Gets a good laugh from our friends!
Tomball, TX
I want you to know how much I have enjoyed wearing your skins over the past 10 years or so. I've dived all over the world in them. Every trip, I give out your web-site 3 - 4 times to curious people. I hope that I have brought you some business! I have one of your large colorful stickers on my camera box, so you get lots of free advertising!

"Yesterday I received the dive suit, that was fast! And guess what, it fits perfect! Glad that you asked again about my size.
In April I will be diving in Sulawesi/Indonesia, when I'm back I'll send you a picture with the suit "in action".
Thanks
again for your professional service.
My original hot pink skin will be traveling down to the Mexican west coast this winter. I delight in it each time I sashay along the beach here in Massachusetts. Will be 70 in July (me, not the skin) and still going strong.

Dear Sue,
I received my dive goddess dive skin. It fits perfectly, and I absolutely love it. I am so impressed with the quality of the material and the construction of the suit. The visor is also great. I did not realize that it was reversible. It was so nice of you to send fabric swatches. Now I want one in each color!!! Thank you so much for sending my order out so quickly. It arrived in only 3 days!
Sincerely,

Hi Sue, I own several of your skins and took them to Thailand and VietNam lately. They had never seen such great colours ...I left the rainbow one to my really nice Thai diveguide. Can''t wait to see the next collection...You are the best....

Had to let you how thrilled I was with my new, colorful diveskin. While it is attractive, it is also a well-made, quality product. I thank you too, for including the swatches. I've had fun looking through them. I'm leaving on a cruise Saturday where I have 4 dives scheduled. I'm taking the swatches and your unique business cards in my dive bag so that I can share info on your great product with anyone who asks.

Hi, Sue
We just received our 2 "Palau" suits and they are great!
We will be going to Belize in two weeks with friends that are all going to be in your skins. My wife and I now have 3 each. We will send pix as soon as we get back.
Can't wait to show off our new skins.

My Aqua Biscus #607 size M(2) arrived yesterday and is currently soaking in a water and vinegar solution. It is a PERFECT fit! I tried it on this morning and was overcome with an urge to parade past sunburned tourists on the west coast of Florida. I will wait until it is dry and free of the scent of vinegar. WONDERFUL product. Thank you ...and I DO look very HOT in it!

I have to admit I haven't had a chance to take a look at your Postcard section in awhile, but having just done so, I can't sign off before taking a second to say that the shot of "Parrot Fish in Thailand" is amazing, great fun and a great advertisement for that skin. Hope to spot one sometime down under.

Sue,
Funny story for you all! I had to dive into the water at 4 feet deep to get a woman who could not swim on a snorkeling trip this past week down in The Turks and Caicos Islands, who had gotten caught in the currents. I was barely dressed with my diveskin half on and when I hit the surf I went down enough to catch our friend, Mr.Sea Urchin! It caught the outside of my right thigh and because of the diveskin it did not penetrate deeply. I had a tiny prick in my thigh and the doctor said if I had not had on my diveskin, I would have gotten the entire barb in my thigh! Thank God for the diveskin as I only had a small tip in my thigh and was able to get it out easily! The diveskin reflected the brunt of the urchin and saved my leg from major injury and major PAIN! Love these suits!

Had a great time in the Red Sea in my new Truckin suit. Rough conditions,
but even when hauled onto the boat due to extreme weather conditions,
bruised and battered but not a snag on the suit. It's a lot tougher
than me and brought a smile too all.

I received my hibiscus dive skin, yesterday and I LOVE it!!!!! It fits like a glove and looks great! Can't wait to try it out in April, when we go to Cayman Brac for 2 weeks of diving. Thanks for making a fashionable dive skin for us, who don't want to wear just black. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Sue, I've been drooling for your skins for several years now and on receiving
them am totally thrilled. They are GORGEOUS!! My daughter and I will
be taking them to Mexico in January and I'll be sure to get some pictures
for you. We have also spoken to Carolyn at Liquid Fit and ordered her
stunning wetsuits so we know we are going to be the most colorful, fun
fat women diving off Isla Mujeres for the entire ten days we are there.
Thank you for making such a wonderful product for those of us who are
tired, tired, tired of boring ugly dive skins.
Hi Sue,
just back from another dive trip and going through my emails. I received my latest divegoddess.com dive skin and love it. Wore another one, bright pink, can't remember the name of it, in Palau and Truk. Nearly every low viz dive in Truk someone would remark that when they couldn't find the group, they'd see my dive skin and found their way. Lots of compliments around the world on your dive skins. Hey, I tell everyone that diving is not a glamorous sport (all dressed in black) and someone has to be the bright one in the group.

I LOVE my new reef madness skin! I also have the tide pool and love that as well. My dive buddy called it "reef camo". LOL.
My friend T-Shirt Diver Sue also has one (or more?) and we recently met up in Bonaire for a lovely shore dive off the Divi Resort. We got lots of approving glances... thanks for creating such wonderful skins! We need more more more... maybe something in a polka dot??

Just returned from a wonderful dive trip to Mindoro Island, Philippines.
Unfortunately, I asked about the water temp beforehand and was told
the water was at 78 degrees. I decided not to pack my DiveGoddess skins
and took a 2.5 mil wetsuit instead. What a mistake! The water ranged
from 84 to 86, perfect for my skins. In the future I plan to pack a
couple of my DiveGoddess skins regardless of info on water temp. After
all, they take up so little space, weigh next to nothing, and they're
so much fun. First (and last) time I've lost such an opportunity to
add color and fun to my diving.

Good Evening Goddess,
Received a rather large package from you this afternoon, a four day delivery.
You magic is endless----you were able to move the USPS into action----amazing,
congratulations!!
The
dive skins are perfect and will be the envy in all the USVI. Thanks
once again for your help!!
The diveskin was delivered yesterday morning, less than a week after my order, which is amazing service, given it had to come to the UK. I'm away for work at the moment so haven't seen it yet, but Gill has tried it on and it fits perfectly, so a great call on sizing too. And most importantly she's ecstatic about it, loves it to death, so thats three out of three.
So, thanks very much again for amazing service and a great product, it'll be used in Greece in September - we'll send you a picture.

Hello Once Again, Sue:
As promised, here is the update to a Blurbles & Pearls spun back
on Wednesday, May 28, 2003. Well, it has been slightly over two years
since the “Dive Goddess” worked her magic and changed the
lives of two mere mortals forever.
Due
to unforeseen weather conditions, we had to postpone our 2003 vacation
slightly later than planned but Ms Shy & Bashful was finally
certified in July 03.
Scuba Romantic
What a remarkable transformation! Ms Shy & Bashful now boasts several swimsuits these days but, true to her word, few ever get to see them, for it is almost immediately covered with the latest Dive Goddess diveskin creation from your magnificent selection. As an advanced diver who has accumulated 128 dives, she has become both a confident and skilled diver, whom I proudly call my dive buddy. We have only the ‘”Dive Goddess” to thank for making it possible for my ole school girl sweetheart to once again become as adventurous, daring and self-assured as she was 45 years ago.
September of this year we shall celebrate out 2nd wedding anniversary. No, we didn’t have the underwater wedding we had planned due to medical reasons (ear infection----mine).
Goddess, as you already know, we have moved to a Caribbean Island and are diving our way into the sunset together. Happy and content, that is what we are and all due to a diveskin called Flame or was it Reef Madness or perhaps it was Tide Pool----no matter really----for deep down we both know it was the enchantment of the “Dive Goddess” that not only got us diving together but who continues to have a positive influence over the quality of our lives every day.
The reason we each wear one of your more flamboyant creations could not be more different. While Ms Shy & Bashful wants body cover, as a scuba instructor I always want students to know where I am above and below the surface. Believe me, Goddess, when I say I have never had a student or group diver say “I didn’t know which one you were.” Even during cold water diving I wear my Dive Goddess skin over my wetsuit or drysuit. For me they provide an extra measure of safety, helping me stand out in a crowd, which is a good thing.
Our Dive Goddess skins are always the center of attention at every dive site location, and we are proud to be among the divers that wear them. Where else can a macho dive instructor get away with wearing a “Hot Sui or Neon Trigger” uniform to work!!
Thanks for all your help. Be safe “Dive Goddess” and may we dive many tanks!!

Hello Sue,
I have a new market for your beautiful skins: female surfers! SOME
of us are worried about the hours we spend in the sun. Since I've gotten
my skins, I've been amazed at the interest and postive comments I get.
Thanks so much for turning my outfits from ugly ducklings to great
looking. The only problem I get is that they are so noticeable, everyone
watches my wipeouts as well as my good rides

I get wonderful comments on the new skin that I have on each day of
a dive trip. The colors are wild and they make me feel special to wear
a Dive Goddess skin. The Dive Masters tell me that I give the fish
headaches when they look at me! I tell eveyone that asks where I got
my great skins.

Hi, Julie: Thanks for your interest in DIVE GODDESS products. At this
time, we do not offer do-rags. After years of foot-dragging, we finally
added hoods because they do protect against stingy-thingies, as well
as keep hair out of the way. I haven't been able to justify do-rags
in the same way. Suggestion: You could get solid-colored ones (from
that other web-site) that match your DIVE GODDESS skins.

Hi, Carol: Thank you so much for your input re: Lycra Print Patterns.
We do try to have a wide selection to fit many personalities and tastes.
However, you'd be amazed at how limited the selection is - and getting
smaller all the time. In fact, that is THE largest obstacle to introducing
new prints on a regular basis, which is what we'd love to do. There
just isn't enough "published" that looks very interesting.
Sadly, the lycra world seems to moving towards a monochromatic look.
BORING! I'm so glad you like your TIDE POOL.

I like my Tide Pool fish pattern on my dive skins, but I wish there had
been a smaller print pattern to pick from. Everything else is swirls,
lines, and geometric design. I think more people would order if there
were some smaller prints. Sincerely,
