“I found it difficult to get information about certified divers so I decided to use this space to talk about that. First of all other resources. Book here and you will receive an email confirmation but no further confirmation from the company until you arrive. No worries, they have your details and you can proceed. Reach Reef Fleet Terminal (main hall) and check around 7:15 am at the Under Cruise Desk and Dive desk (hard to find company name here on TripAdvisor) The boat leaves the harbor between 8-830.
I am a certified diver with more than 30 collapses in Mexico, Hawaii and the US East Coast and I really enjoyed 3 crashes with this company. We went to 2 Saxon and North Hastings sites. The boat is carrying 180 people but had only 70 people today of which only 5 are certified divers. The rest were a mix of family traffickers or " divers of the day " (they have never been pigeons before and are not guaranteed). Yes there are additional costs for attaching a payment guarantee here. This is possible because if you miss your trip for any reason, you are not paying the minimum fee AND all other taxes / expenses that come with the downfall.
Soon you get to see some beautiful corals with colorful colors around them. The deep dive was 16 m. We used a stinger suit without a wet suit (inside is very warm). Very little wandering. They have a professional camera that follows you closely and take your day. We saw a green sea turtle, a hawksbill tortoise and 2 white tip reef sharks. We also saw lots of parrots and clownfish as well. I would say next time I was looking for a specific diving company but this was a good introduction to GBR!
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.
For me, there were many families with young children running. There were a lot of divers of the day" and I couldn't keep track of my BC after each collapse and people kept taking my weight belt. If they can separate the less-experienced divers that would be great and lead to a personalized experience. Our diving master, Sally, was beautiful. We finally got some great pictures and returned to the harbor at 4 p.m. It's all a great experience. Looking forward to the future, so everything is really amazing! one of the best experiences of my life! Hopefully I‚Äôll be back again to find it again! very good! Don't miss out! Highly recommended!

“I booked this trip as a certified diver alone. I was instructed to enter at 7:15 a.m.. The ship was not sold until 8:00 am. There was another $ 20 Reef tax for entry. Note this.
Everyone was so friendly and caring for my needs. I can't say enough about how well I was treated. My dive coach Dancy (I think this was her name) was very high and very patient. Thank you for being so perfect in explaining the immersion process and the process.
Everything was provided for the crash including the steering wheel suit. They also had sunscreen. It was an extra $ 10 per dive for each targeted dive, which was unexpected. I thought the immersion pack included this already. So with three dips it cost me another $ 30.
The tour features a professional photographer who takes pictures of everyone. It looks like the boat could support 134 people depending on the number of cubby barrels. For $ 50 I was able to get my photos and Reef photos. These came via USB. Images are of different quality and are worth it.
Coffee, tea and biscuits are served in the morning. They were going well. Lunch was also good. The guests pretended not to have seen the food before and went through the buffet. This seems to have been their last meal on earth. However, the boat did not run out of food.
Sodas and beer can be bought at the bar. Water, coffee and tea were free.
We returned to the harbor around 4:30 PM. So this trip is a full day commitment.
The tug-of-war was fine. I was expecting a better collapse. This trip seems to take care of snorklers more than divers. There were only seven divers certified in the boat.
Next time I plan to collapse with a very small group focused on certified divers. I think diving will be better and the boat will be very crowded. There were many families and children running.
I think this trip is great for families and people with little knowledge of snorkeling. All in all it is truly amazing! one of the best experiences of my life! Hopefully I‚Äôll be back again to find it again! very good! Don't miss out! Highly recommended!”
“It was really quite disapointing. I imagined beautiful colorful rivers full of different creatures and in fact a few fish and the same thing all the time. Not beautiful colored corals and fish. The best thing was to see a tortoise in the first place but otherwise there is nothing really interesting. Don't expect clown fishes in their anemones and in "Dory" and many other variants. You will not go to the most beautiful rocks. The first place was better. The second place was full of really annoying jellyfish. The food was far worse than expected. The staff were friendly.”
“It was ok day. The first place for snorkeling was boring but the second place was much better, not so bad. The staff was fine. Lunch would be better, vegetarian option would be vegetarian, protein option would be as good as hummus. Many people on this trip seemed to enjoy it.”
“A wonderful journey of reeds
Compleye's day was awesome ... a very nice and happy team ... always ready to help .... good food and drinksFailing into a big boat with plenty of space for everyone and a safe policy in place. We really enjoyed our trip. Highly Recommended ‚≠êÔ∏è‚≠êÔ∏è‚≠êÔ∏è‚≠êÔ∏è‚≠êÔ∏è”
“One of the best day out on the reef as a family. The staff were fantastic, happy to help with great attitudes!
On a whim we did a guided snorkel with Sam the marine biologist which was Amazing, an hour of snorkelling outside the zone of the rest of the group. We learnt some cool facts and saw some wonderful wonders. Definitely worth it!
The entire crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone there really enjoyed themselves.”
“The crew was very friendly, enthusiastic and supported / helped the first timers on the water! River areas are beautiful and the spatial time is generous. An amazing boat with plenty of space for all the passengers. Shannon was amazed to take pictures with the tortoise and the fish. The entire team was cleaning and safeguarding COVID Safe with the procedures for rides, descent and food and most of the available sanitiser. You are definitely a winner on this day trip.”
