Since diving to the wreck of the Titanic in July 2005 I have given presentations on my trip to many different groups. Below are a number of testimonials:

"What a fantastic finish to our ‘Storms and Shipwrecks’ topic! The children were spellbound for a whole morning. The presentation was differentiated perfectly for their age group. This presentation would also make a great stunning start to the topic. I would have no hesitation in asking Rob back."

Debbie Anning, Ferring School.

"Rob came to the East Manhood WI Group in March 2008 to speak about his experience of diving on the Titanic.  The evening was enjoyed by everyone and we were all full of praise for Rob’s sensitive handling of this emotive subject.  Rob was easy to hear and understand and we all learned something new about this iconic shipwreck.  His powerpoint presentation was superb and there was not a single sound to be heard in the hall whilst the footage of the wreck was being shown.  We have recommended Rob to other WIs and I know he will be very favourably received wherever he is a speaker."

Stella Crist, Group Secretary, East Manhood WI Group.

"When hearing about Rob Goldsmith's experience diving down to see the Titanic our Rotary Yachting Fellowship became enthralled at the amazing feat achieved on film. It was presented with compassion, excitement and respect for the lives lost in this most historic event. A most moving and thought provoking after dinner speech."

Jenie Pressdee, Commodore, Rotary Yachting Fellowship.

"Your talk to our Year 6 pupils about the Titanic was fascinating. Pitched at the right level, they hung onto your every word and picture; much of this was evident from the amazing writing on the subject we saw later that week. What a privilege! Hope to see you back at Rydon again soon."

Vicky Holmwood, Subject Leader for English and Drama, Rydon Community College, Storrington, West Sussex.


"We can’t take the children to the Titanic, but Rob brought the Titanic to us. His presentation was interactive and thoroughly fascinating. The children loved it."

Mrs Pontin, Senior Teacher at Bolney School.

"The video was amazing, It made me feel as if I was really there!"

Millie aged 10, St Mary's School Washington


"The talk of his childhood interest turning into an adult hobby was interesting and amusing, but the film he showed of the wreck and debris field was stunning and extremely moving"

Brigg Historical Society, Lincolnshire

"A unique first hand experience bringing history alive for the children. The highlight of our Storms and Shipwrecks project!"

Viv Earwicker, St Mary's School Washington
