Fun and memorable diving experience
3/5 dives a day, including two night dives across the trip. The crew was great and useful. The food was always amazing and provided lactose-free options. Other guests were fun and happy. The quad cabin was a bit tight when full.

So much variety in terms of diving and things to see on the GBR, I made lots of new friends and I also completed my Advanced OW on board. Fantastic trip all round.
