Amazing dive experiance - I did the introduction dive with kate and it was amazing. She was a really good teacher and we had an amazing time. So I decided to do a second dive and it was great too. Defenitely won't forget my first diving experiance. Now I already did my advanced open water diver.

A day with a lot of fish and corals - It was a very nice day. The journey to the Greta Barrier reef was a bit bumpy as the swell was very strong, but once we were there it was very relaxed. The snorkelling was already a good foretaste of the Great Barrier Reef, but the dive was simply unique. My diving instructor helped me a lot. I had a few problems with my ears at the beginning, but he did a good job and gave me the time I needed. In general, the crew were really helpful and everything ran very smoothly.

Fantastic day - Absolutely stunning day. Well organised, fantastic crew and enjoying the reef with local people was certainly an educational experience. Would do this tour again, if we had time. Thank you Marco, Raj and all the crew for a memorable day!

Nice experience with lovely small touches like underwater photography - Overall a lovely experience , the team was super good (they also have a super guy who shoots underwater photos which I didn’t see in the other company I used next day) and they took great care of showing us the reef as we had small kids. Most staff were good.

Good dive experience, expensive hidden charges. - Everything is great incl food, transportation, guidance and equipment. Only issue was they didnt allow me to use my own GoPro. Told us during the dive that I could only use my own gopro on 2nd dive onwards and need to buy their photo services during 1st dive. I had bought the gopro just for this and i had a flight next day so couldn't go for more than 1 dives. Ruined the experience of a lifetime, as we dont travel internationally to great barrier reef every year. Please call the organizers to get double assured before you book with here.

OK but not „Wow“ - Pros: - In the morning we went for the intro scuba diving & got a great extensive introduction on how it all works before going into the water, which gave us alot of comfort about feeling safe! - We saw various animals (during both, the scuba dive in the morning & snorkeling in the afternoon): Turtles, little Sharks, big Clams and many colorful fish! We were happy with what we saw. Cons: - Out of the 24 people who did the Intro scuba dive in the morning, there were only 12 spots to go for a second scuba dive in the afternoon. We realized too late and weren‘t able to go for a second scuba dive, so we had to join the snorkeling group. - the first scuba dive was only 20min and we (4 students per instructor) had to hold on to his arms throughout the entire 20 min, and most of those 20 min were spent to take under water group pictures…) - Food was ok, but not amazing.

If you are a diver book somewhere else - For certified divers this trip is way too commercially oriented Too crowded, endless briefings, and then finally 3 dives 2 at the same location!!! Ridiculous And only 40 mins, shortest dive ever Unfortunately reef is bleached a lot and sea life is reduced compared to other tropical dive locations
