The team are excellent, always willing to help and answer questions. The boat was comfy and plenty of room on the pontoon. Great having the different options with snorkelling, submersible and underwater viewing.

A great trip out from start to finish. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The activities were fun. I have always avoided the pontoon but it was such a great experience and wish to bring my family back, as it caters for all interests. We did the guided snorkel tour, and were very happy with it. We also did the heli flight which was a really great experience.

The submarine was excellent. A pod of dolphins followed us, we saw heaps of fish and coral. The whole day was special.
The buffet was suberb. The trip out to the reef was scenic and informative.
Patrick (lifeguard) was very helpful to a friend without his help she would not have been able to get in and out of the water. He made her day. Shannon was very helpful and informative.
It was a great day out.

Good day out with a well oiled team.
Big boat, felt a little like a ferry with the seating arrangement & staff style of management.
Everything you need for a good day at a fantastic location, Agincourt Reef.
Plenty of time there to explore at your leisure & options for non Swimmers & novices.
Great facilities, all you need.
Very different experience to the local company Wavelength, who we also went out with. Both great, but smaller local friendlier team vs bigger operation.
We luckily went out with less than 50 people on board, which was perfect. Boat can cater for 200 which I wouldnt be so keen on & would feel pretty hectic.
