Overall an amazing experience. The staff were excellent, they were very well-trained, making sure you were informed every step of the way. They were very friendly, always happy to chat. The warm dinners provided on board was of excellent standard if it were made in a proper kitchen, so being made on a board made it even more impressive! It was my first time scuba diving, and I felt very safe and assured. I was briefed verbally and practised techniques just below the water. I was guided down some of the reefs. The aquatic life and coral were amazing. Make sure you have a GoPro! The weather was decent, it lightly rained a few times over the two days, and it was fairly choppy on the way out, so don’t forget to bring travel sickness tablets. The crew have a good brand for sale too. Many thanks to all the crew.

Awesome trip! Great diving and snorkeling. Good food, nice cruise out to the dive site. Being on the boat overnight was also great, relaxing and interesting all at the same time. Highly recommended

This was a great trip to get a more personal and in-depth experience with diving and snorkeling on the reef! The crew was very kind, and the ship and diving/snorkeling gear were all very dependable. The only disappointment was that the night dive wasn’t permitted for intro divers, even after completing prior dives and competency tests. Apparently this was a recent change in regulation, but the online details hadn’t been updated to reflect that. Other than that, the reef spots that we explored were beautiful and vibrant, even with a bit of rainy weather!

Crew were professional, helpful & competent. Boat was in good shape with everything functioning. Food was acceptable for a small boat overnight trip. Snorkeling gear including stinger suits worked well and when they did not the crew adjusted them for us until they worked well. We only snorkeled but saw nearly as much as the divers did, with the exception that the divers got to do a night dive but snorkeling was not allowed after sunset. Lots of time for snorkeling at 4 different sites. Amazing coral and innumerable fish. It was like snorkeling in an aquarium! We also saw 3 sharks and 4 or 5 turtles, giant clams, etc.

The Great Barrier Reef was amazing!!! Our dives were awesome and the snorkeling was sometimes even better than the diving. I would highly recommend doing the night dive also!! Romy and Marco took us diving. They were amazing cooks, great guides, and always did their best to make us feel welcome, happy, and safe!! The boat is small so it was actually really nice to have only about 10 of us on board. The beds were comfortable and even though we went in summer we stayed cool inside the boat. I would recommend 10/10!!
