Well, the barrier reef is itself amazing. . I used to take this trip before I found everyone friendly, but this time it was different from other situations, so I felt like I was being switched to personel friendly before. Often they were, but some of them were not helpful and ignored our concerns at times. Someone took fines from one of us and gave us smaller ones than we had given before, saying they didn't fit well, but the lady insisted that they did (even if one member of staff told us earlier that the first ones were perfect), someone in my family with small wings had to finish skiing before because his feet. So I recommend guys to hear more clients. The food was good and the safety instructions were good too. If you pay an extra $ 10 you get to go to semisubmarine, though I wouldn’t recommend it that much because you really can’t see as much as you would expect. If you could ski, I would prepare for that. If you can't ski or get in, then take a semisub. Thanks for the great feeling! All in all it is truly amazing! one of the best experiences of my life! Hopefully I’ll be back again to find it again! very good! Don't miss out! Highly recommended!

It was the first time I went to the Great Barrier Reef and the first time I had Diving for myself. After researching what would meet our needs. Evolution Cruise was the best value for money and exceeded my expectations for customer service and the vibe they created in a day. This was the best boat / Yacht I've ever been on! Book Cruise in Evolution. You will not be disappointed. The instructors were helpful and understanding and took a good look at safety, strategy and fun. Well recommended for all ages. And real beats and teens.

A very good trip, we recommend that everyone go to the rocks as it is a lifelong experience. Helicopter was the highlight of the trip. The crew was young and happy and it was fun. There were two rock stops and the option of being dragged by a fast runaround person so you could to see the canal without effort.And for snorkel / unsure swimmers there are life jackets and pool noodles available which are a good touch. I am not sure if I will ever use this company again though compared to other trips I have made there are small but important details that I feel they just don't care about. I booked with Tripadvisor about a week earlier and had a message advising me that the day I had chosen did not work due to boat cleaning and I was offered a refund or rescheduling. Luckily I could have left the next day as I was flying the next day so it worked but it would have been a disaster given this was the purpose of my visit. The crew arrived late at the checkpoint which meant everything was urgent and there were many additional shipping costs to be covered including a snorkel with marine biologists and a semi sub ride. I think maybe some of the details on the board in relation to some of the most common things you should look at / expect to see would be good for people and some details of the immovable ones looking at the board would be a good respect as opposed to everything you feel like extra cost. There was something I felt like strong currents that day and I thought that maybe some basic advice about boating in crowds and swimming conditions would have been helpful as I have seen in other boats as there was definitely a lot of traffic around the boat and many were out of control around the wings. I couldn’t finish my demolition introduction due to a blocked ear but I wasn’t given another option like the amount that was very expensive compared and would be fun as an act and I couldn’t give it to someone I thought was a waste of resources on behalf of the company. Another thing I think I should say and this is out of control but what you should know is that food is served in houses playing for anyone who is sick offshore which had a few relaxations on my edge, myself and there is not much in the way of shady outdoors so maybe get yourself pills before hand. Boat crews can help by booking a shady spot for outsiders to relax / clean. All in all it is truly amazing! one of the best experiences of my life! Hopefully I’ll be back again to find it again! very good! Don't miss out! Highly recommended!

We traveled together to Cairns only to see the Great Barrier Reef, which we were really excited about. We plan to tour with Down Under Dive a few months before our arrival. When we arrived on time, the business was closed for the day. We called the number we were given and were told the trip was canceled and we needed to reschedule. We did not have any additional dates available. It's so destructive! There is no advance warning. Don't deal with this company!

I would definitely recommend it. The staff are very friendly, funny and welcoming, nothing was a big deal. I was impressed by the orderliness and the abundance of food for everyone. I am going again for months with my son and we are looking forward to it. Congratulations to the owners for running a customer-focused company and hiring great staff.

Good crew, good boat, everyone at their leisure and for the sake of the team, I have now been transformed into scuba diving and I will do more, scared before going down. 5 stars by all means. Thank you very much.A very high value for money where you have to pay for a big family like ours. Thank you for making our experience memorable üíñ

The best boat ride was to two different coral reefs. The boat was very clean and had everything you could wish for. Excellent experience. RECOMMENDED. We took another trip with another operator and found Down Under very high in service, boat cleanliness and professionalism. Thank you.
