Christal Seas Scuba, Norwich The staff aren't very helpful or happy, I can say that as a previous customer,(My opinion - not Geograph's) and when they moved from nearby Cromer Road (in the same square in 2011/12) - they didn't even bother telling anybody. But they are knowledgeable, that's the main thing.
