Ben Walker, Oz: Guys great job! This personal experience is the trip that is hard to find in QLD. I love the staff, the accommodation, launching off the beach – everything ! I will be back
Yat Long Tong, HKong: If there is a night dive for us, then it should be wonderful. I would like to know more about the details if I can take my students here for their advance course
Takashi Ichimura, Japan: It was very nice, everything was cool. One thing I didn’t like was ‘mosquito’ and it fits possible we want to do night dive on the wreck. Definitely will come back. Thank you for everything
Heather /Gallagher, USA: It is a little pricey, however, I felt safe and they seemed very professional. I enjoyed the ‘pre-talk’ where we went over the map of the boat/plan for the day and emergency plans. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent bbq. Staff was attentive and I felt that all my needs were met. Never felt lost in the crowd where I have with other companies.
Chris Loper, Canada: Everyone was great. Excellent dive/experience
