• Amazing dive experience for a SCUBA newbie

  Michael from ScubaIQ gave me an amazing dive experience. It had been two years since my last dive, and I had only dived 3 times in my life. Michael put me at ease and gave me all the gentle reminders I needed. He correctly estimated my weight needs the first time, talked me through all the sites before we arrived, and had all the gear perfectly organized. Even with below-average visibility, we saw a lot of great stuff. Michael took me through the maze of coral and surfaced us a few meters from the boat every time. I unreservedly recommend ScubaIQ and Michael to anyone. I had an amazing time!

  Great experience! We are certified divers but with only a handful of of dives under our belt so went with Scuba IQ for a private guided dives. Our dive master, Michael, was fantastic. Felt super safe in every aspect of the trip. Equipment was well maintained, crew were super helpful with getting your gear on and giving you a hand back on board for every dive. We would definitely use again if we were to dive the Outer Reef. 5 stars

  Martin is an outstanding divemaster. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to get the most out of our visit to the Great Barrier Reef! He communicated well, kept us informed at every turn, and took excellent care of us all day.

  Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef is one of those rare experiences that carries both awe and responsibility and diving it with Martin from Scuba IQ elevated it far beyond a standard dive trip. I wish I could take Martin on every destination dive. From the very beginning, Martin brought a calm confidence and depth of knowledge that immediately put us at ease. This wasn’t just a private guide leading a dive; it felt like being invited into the reef through the eyes of someone who deeply understands and respects it. His briefings were thoughtful and tailored—not rushed or generic—and he took the time to understand my experience level, comfort, and what I was most excited to see. That intentionality carried through every moment underwater. We even used a dinghy several times to get to even more!! Beyond the professionalism, the experience was genuinely fun. Martin has a way of making the dive feel effortless and playful while still being incredibly safe and intentional. We moved at the perfect pace, spotted incredible marine life, and shared those quiet, wow-filled moments underwater that make diving so special. I surfaced smiling, energized, and completely in love with the experience. What could have been just another dive turned into a joyful, memorable adventure—one I’ll be talking about for a long time. If you want an expert guide who makes the reef come alive and makes the whole experience an absolute blast, Martin and Scuba IQ are it. I will definitely dive with Martin again on future trips. He is one in a million.

  Fantastic day diving, where we saw so many incredible things and learned a lot. Darcy did a phenomenal job leading us with Toby and Brodie as well. We’d love to come back!

  What an amazing 4days/3 nights. Martin made every one of our 14 dives special. We had vip treatment throughout, felt totally safe and were expertly guided. We are both advanced divers who have travelled the world with our hobby but Martin’s knowledge and attention to detail stand out. His use of a wipe board, follow up sessions as we write up our log and attention to detail made this such a memorable trip. I look forward to arranging another trip with ScubaIQ. This really was a premium experience. The boat and crew exceeded expectations but Martin was what made the trip from start to finish.

  We are a family of 5 certified divers ages 30 to 69 with about 20 dives each primarily in Caribbean and Hawaii. Martin provided an exceptional level of service diving in the Great Barrier Reef off the Calypso boat at Opal Reef. He is very personable, professional, and aware of each of our abilities and needs. We are very pleased with our diving experience.

  We both had an amazing time on our first ever dive. Martin was really friendly and professional and he went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. If you are thinking about trying your first dive but feeling apprehensive, I would 100% recommend booking Martin as your instructor. Whilst I’m sure a lot of the other larger group tours are great, it’s definitely worth paying that bit extra to have that 1-1 support which will give the you confidence to enjoy diving in the Great Barrier Reef!

  Simply the best! Martin is a phenomenal divemaster, and my time exploring the reef with him was a highlight of my time in Australia. Don't hesitate to book a dive with Scuba IQ, you will not regret it. Thanks again!
