If we could give 10 stars, we would. This dive operation is a gem. Look no further.

Dive sites: 4 dives a day (one is a night dive)...very cool, many sharks and cuttlefish. Some of the best in the world -- they take your ability into consideration and give you due freedom upon proving your own experience and ability. We went on the Minke Whale Project on the GBR and we had incredible sightings and interactions with these gorgeous, enormous, friendly whales. The dive sites are varied and they take experience and currents into consideration when determining the sites. Varied life, all incredibly beautiful.

Staff: THE most professional, friendly, helpful and safety-conscious staff I've ever seen and worked with. Your day begins with a 6am good morning call, "Diiiiiiiiive briefing...," which allowed us to know what to look for at the dive sites (what wildlife, coral, currents, etc.) to expect. From taking off your fins, filling your tanks, double, triple checking your gear, to having a lookout to keep track of divers and snorkelers and sending out rafts to fetch those who strayed far.. they are safety first but it doesn't get in the way of your good time.

Each staff member is genuinely enthusiastic about their job, they are there to help you out, and were so eager to get in the water with us to show us the best of the best of the sites. Finishing your night dive off with a crew who likes to joke around and family style dining. It's adult camp for those who are life enthusiasts, and the staff are just that -- life enthusiasts. It's contagious and makes for great energy the whole way through.

Food & Accommodations: Breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, tea and snack, and family style dinner. IT'S ALL DELICIOUS!!!

We were known as "The Honeymooners" as it was our honeymoon and we decided to go to Australia. They did everything in their power to make it such a uniquely joyful experience from champagne in our cabin to underwater photography professionally done to Capt. Pete singing us a few songs dedicated to love and our happy future.

We want to go back for our 10 year anniversary, our 25 year anniversary, and then some in between, because even 7 months later, we're still dreaming of the whales, the night dives, the jokes on board, the delicious dinners with Australian wine and joyful memories on the Great Barrier Reef.
