Well traveled diver loved Odyssey trip.
This dive trip to Rowley Shoals was on my bucket list for many years. We were lucky to be blessed with really great conditions. I did get a cabin to myself which was great. The crew were excellent - very experienced and happy to accommodate our needs. Remember to take your sea sickness meds, the toilets and showers are shared on the back deck. Water from all taps is drinkable from a desalinator. The team did their best to ensure we got the most dives possible and I was impressed that they assessed conditions before we got in. They called 2 dives off for safety reasons but added one on our last day when conditions had improved. All dives were on air which was clean. Extra snorkel activities were offered. Odyssey was a great experience for a well traveled diver. Obviously the excellent dive conditions helped to make this a fantastic trip.

Pristine and healthy marine environmen at Rowley Shoals
I would rate the diving at Rowley Shoals 7/10 overall, with Mermaid Wall being the highlight dive site. Both hard and soft corals were very healthy with no sign of bleaching. Small fish life was abundant, with some larger fish species like milkfish, bump headed parrot fish, dogtooth tuna and a couple of mantas. Reef sharks, mainly white tips were seen on the majority of dives. I would have like to have seen more pelagics at Mermaid Reef, it being a complete no-take zone. Macro life was almost non-existent, saw only one of 2 nudibranchs across 6 days of diving. I did the one night dive that was offered, I rated it as one of the least interesting of my 1000+ dives. The boat itself was in good condition, the only drawback being the absence of ensuites in any of the cabins, all 4 toilets/ showers being situated at the dive deck at the stern of the boat. My lower deck cabin had a bar fridge but no sink / wash basin, & toilets were a steep climb up a flight of stairs. The boat itself is quite tall, as a result it is a bit rolly in sideswells & windy conditions. Boat and dive staff were very professional, with very high levels of attention to safety commensurate with the remoteness of the area. Food was good quality and plentiful, I gained a couple of kilos over the course of the week 🤭. My main suggestion for the operator would to provide information about rental gear on their website - they don’t stock their own hire gear but do have an arrangement with a sporting goods store in Broome - but I had to contact Odyssey by phone to get that info. Overall I’d rate Rowley Shoals as being good coral reef diving in a pristine but remote location.

Awesome Wall Dives with friendly crew
Large variety of dives, seeing an abundance of fish swimming in an endless field of coral. Visibility to 50m+. Lots of swimthroughs to explore at depths of 5-40m.

Pristine and exciting divning in a remote part of the world.
Hidden Australian gem of diving. It takes a 20 hr boat ride from the nearest city at the far end of the world to get to, but totally worth it! Pelagics, Tiger shark, hammerhead, juvenile black tips, schools of sweet lips, sharks on almost every dive. Even got some of the small stuff, found a pygmy seahorse. Considering only 200 people get to dive this park every year, get early on the list to dive as its totally unencumbered of people and the Odyssey provides everything you need to have a great time.

Pretty good.
I liked being free to swim with my dive buddy instead of as a big group. A little bit lacking in large animals and dive site variety. Lovely crew. Laid back schedule. I only gave 3 stars for the boat comfort because the showers were often cold and I had to use the same towel for the whole trip and make my own bed - it's not a silver service boat but it's also affordably priced.

The blue clear waters and the unspoiled environment.Drifting together in the water in the current at the end of the trip.Walking on the Sand on the final day. The 2whales wandering around the boat at the first mooring made it feel very special All the dive sites were good .Plenty to see
