AI summary of 12 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the professionalism, friendliness and attentiveness of the crew, who make divers feel safe and well cared for throughout the day. The boat itself stands out most frequently, with reviewers highlighting its modern condition, spacious design and comfortable ride, alongside the quality of the diving experience, which features pristine reef sites with abundant marine life including sharks, rays, turtles and colourful fish. The tour operator's conservation efforts and educational approach also receive particular mention. The most common caveat is that divers without their own equipment should allow extra time to test hire gear on site before the dive, and some note that whilst the tour is not inexpensive, the full-day experience with two dives, lunch and guided services represents good value.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
We booked the day trip with two dives and loved it. A small group, upbeat guides, and we always felt safe. Thanks Harriet and Fred.
The trip to Llewellyn Reef was brilliant, with two great untouched dive sites in a green zone and no other tourist boats in sight. A small dive group of five plus a guide, and a helpful team. Divers without their own gear should allow time to test hire equipment on site.
A well organised day with attentive guidance from the crew. The gear felt like new, we saw big turtles and Napoleon wrasse, and lunch between dives was tasty and plentiful.
I did the double dive and loved it. The crew called me by name and treated me like an adult. When a huge manta ray passed we could grab our snorkels and swim with it. It isn't cheap, but with a full day, lunch and great guides it was worth it.
They let us join the next trip after we had to cancel for health reasons. I had two great dives with Harriet, felt comfortable throughout, and there was even time left to snorkel.
One of the best dive days I've had. The crew made hot drinks during our surface interval, two master reef guides taught me heaps about turtle nesting, the gear is new and the coral stunning. Only a 90-minute ride out, and no other boats around.
