5.00Amazing experience! Great instructors and with very good attitude. 10/10. Would recommend. If you don’t have time/don’t want to do the full 8 hours, this is a very good option.

5.00Incredible staff took great care of us all on a day where weather was a little rough. Made sure everyone still got to see the beauty of the reef. Guys on the boat looked after our 10 year old who got sea sick and didn't want to snorkel. They were incredibly kind and we can't thank them enough
