We had a great day on the outer reef. This is really where you want to experience the Great Barrier Reef. Here you see the huge corals and tropical fish. We took the beginner diving lesson, and our instructor Michael was helpful, confident in his ability to keep us safe, and also patient with the students who were nervous. Doing my first ever dive here was an unforgettable moment. The snorkeling was also great, you could see everything in detail from the surface as well. The only bummer on our tour was the staircase to the water malfunctioned and we couldn’t complete the 3rd snorkel site. But the company is offering a partial refund to make it right. Overall a great experience, and we’d come back again if given a chance!

Our day trip to the outer reef with Calypso was fantastic. While the swell was up a bit and it was a bit rough heading out, the three reef sites we visited were great and the crew gave us easy access right off the back of the boat. All of the crew were super friendly and knowledgeable, every efficient in getting everyone their gear and stinger suits and kept an eye on everyone in the water offering help if needed. They provide pool noodles and lifejackets to give you some extra buoyancy (and comfort if you're not confident on the water). Lunch was good as was the fresh fruit and snacks. It wasn't a huge boat which is good for snorkelling when not lots of people. Recommended.

The crew were amazing. The fish were fantastic. The trip out to the great barrier reef is pretty rough. Make sure you take anti-nausea medicine and that will not help everyone if it’s a rough day and you are on that water for eight hours no matter what so, be aware. Food was surprisingly really good and it was a bucket list that I am thrilled to have checked off.

The crew were fantastic- knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely interested in the passengers. The marine biologist delivered a fabulous presentation on the reef that was perfectly targeted to the audience. A highly recommended day out in the reef!

We had the best time with Calypso. We did three dives at three different location on the Great Barrier Reef. They were all incredible. The boat was on the smaller side so there were only about 20 people on the boat which made our experience feel more intimate and personalized. Our dive instruction Acacia was incredible and so patient with us. There was only one other person in our dive group so it felt like a private dive. She was so knowledgeable about the reef and pointed out all of beautiful fish and marine life. They aren’t joking about the waters being rough. Definitely take some motion sickness pills, but they do provide them. Don’t let it deter you, though, it was still well worth it. They also take photos and sell them for a very reasonable price.
