Its story
Diane opened in 1982 with two jet skis and six life jackets. A former engine repairer, she prefers explaining a turn to repairing a hull.
In 1985, a customer returned with a fish in the rear basket. The photograph brought fourteen bookings; Diane added a contract clause without promising fish.
Anecdotes
- In August 1984, customer Milo Trent timed the three-minute briefing on his waterproof watch.
- In September 1985, Gabriel left a cassette in the changing room; Diane returned it in a dry box.
- In June 1986, Dolores Van Pelt inaugurated a helmet hook and dropped two helmets.
