An Excellent Captain & his crew.
A great day out with a well laid designed boat & snorkelling platform to see the tropical north reef in it’s stunning variations of coloured fish and corals. The catered lunch was a tropical variety to match.
The Helicopter flight allowed an excellent platform to view the reef in it’s best colours.
Looking forward to doing more next time. Well done!
Cheers

Awesome day out on the outer reefs, 3 different spots for diving/ snorkling, each absolutely beautiful. The crew are friendly, knowledgable and professional and cater for most levels of swimming ability. They provide the gear and explain the procedures thoroughly. Food was included, tasty and plentiful.
