Exceptionnel

Un prix cassé pour une journée premium ! Un bateau top de 2017, un staff aux petits soins, des spots de plongée superbes et en plus un nombre de personnes très correct ce jour là : 28 personnes seulement comparée aux 80-100pers habituellement sur les tours au départ de Cairns. Conseil : appelez ma compagnie Divers Den avant de booker la veille pour connaître le nombre de participants, cela change vraiment l'expérience :-) À refaire sans hésitation !!

Excellente journée

Personnel très sympa, sérieux et doté de pas mal d'humour. Bateau et équipement de bonne qualité. Parfait pour une journée sur la barrière de Corail. La rapidité du bateau permet d'aller loin de la côte, là où le corail est le plus préservé. Un régal pour les yeux

Hello Hugo, thank you so much for taking the time to post a review for us. We love our crew too. They are very passionate about what they do and safety is a number one priority, but also everyone having fun is also important. Our boat is just over 1 year old so very new, we regularly update our equipment so everyone has the best experience using it. The Great Barrier Reef is so amazingly beautiful, the quicker we get there the more time we have to enjoy it. Thank you again for the wonderful 5 star review, much appreciated. We do hope you have the opportunity to come out with us again in the future.
