"Best diving ever, saw Whalesharks, Manta rays, etc. crew were fantastic. The best is that they have their own spotter plane, so they don't share the shark with 6 other boats! I swam with the whale sharks for 107 minutes! WOW. " Peter Essers, 2006
"Best shark tour ever, went three times and saw sharks every time" Kristen
"Exceptional service from a first class dive center. Went out of their way to make my 2 1/2 year old son welcome...and he saw his first whale shark! Thanks! " Kevin Brown
"My experience with Ningaloo Reef Dreaming and the whale shark tour far exceeded my expectations. The crew were fabulous and friendly. There was such a sense of excitement throughout the whole day. " Scout Kozakiewicz
"I dove with Ningaloo Reef Dreaming while I was in Exmouth and I would highly encourage everyone not to dive with them. The company is very unorganized and incompetent. I called to confirm my diving reservation a few days before my arrival. On my first day of diving I had to call them b/c they didn't pick me up even though I told them where I was staying only 3 days before. The next day I got into an argument with the manager because he thought I didn't pay, I had to go back and get my reciept before he believed me. The day before I was going to dive the navy pier I was told I didn't have a reservation even though I had confirmed it about 5 times by now. Fortunately they made "an exception" and allowed me to dive. The management of this operation is incredibly disorganized and very condenscending to their guests. This was by far and away the most poorly run dive operation I have ever encountered in 10 years of diving and 80 plus dives. Consider carefully especially since I went in the offseason, I couldn't imagine how much they would screw up if they had more than a handful of people on their boat. " Mark

"I went with Exmouth Dive and they were really good." Laura Barker
"We would never dive with them again and certainly not recommend them! Anything but customer friendly operation. Dive guides mostly inexperienced. They cater to beginners and course students and don't care about experienced divers. On one dive we asked them for a dive site briefing on the boat and were told that the reef was just streching either right or left! Could'nt miss it! We had strong winds and quite a swell and visibility was about 7m! They don't provide nearly satisfactory storage for divers with their own equipment. My wife could only do three dives from the ten dives prepaid due to a cold she got in Australia. They would not even agree to let her go free-of-charge on the pier dive as a small compensation for the missed dives although there were four vacancies. For us, this was the most disappointing and unpleasant Padi 5 star dive operation we have ever come across in our 16 years of diving. Shame! " Maurice Riordan, 2006
