Going Down Under never looked so good

The day was very breezy on the reef but who cared. The wind might have cancelled the helicopter part of the day but honestly the vibe was too cool to care. From Britte at check-in to Eddie and Cptn Tim the team just make your day. Your international crew do Queensland proud. I loved your bar ladies even when my aussie slang floored the Swedish lass Cptn Tim was there to translate. Eddie ...mate...thanks for the Bundy shout for my wedding anniversary. What an ambassador. You guys for a local Cairns really punch above. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Great choice for the reef experience

Excellent experience from start to finish. Everything is well organized and thought through. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Both reefs were amazing, and the lunch was great with many choices, the introductory dive was pretty good, and the helicopter ride was icing on the cake. Highly recommended for the day out to the GBR from Cairns!
