"Staying on a liveaboard vessel on the Great Barrier Reef diving was a fabulous experience. The boat amazed me, I was staggered by the degree of luxury, the size and facilities afforded. The crew were fantastic and a credit to the company they made the experience that much better also. "

" TUSA T5: The day trip was fantastic and the crew very professional. However, our dive master was not brilliant. Freshwater showers in the toilets and absolutely delicious lunches! One of the best boat I have been on. Excellent value for money and the equipment on the boat was all brand new. "

Port Douglas

" We went on the Poseidon from Port Douglas to dive the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. The operation was quite unprofessional and something happened that really spoilt our day: We dove with a guide at Just Magic, we got carried away by the currents, our guide got lost, we struggled to follow him as he was trying to go back to the boat against the currents, I used all my air and had to go back to the surface. We were a fair distance from the boat and with the currents, there was no way we could reach it. We inflated our red sausage and signed the boat but nobody saw us on the boat. It took at least 20 minutes for them to notice us and when the inflatable boat arrived to rescue us, the dive guide jumped on the boat before letting us in and my buddy was the last one on the boat! It was such a bad experience... We discovered afterwards that we could have gone with SilverSonic which is a much more professional operator. So if you go on a day trip from Port Douglas, I suggest you use Silver Sonic and not Poseidon... "

" I highly recommend the day trip to the outer barrier reef edge with Silverswift, they were very professional and everything was absolutely perfect. It was an unforgettable experience, we saw turtles, sharks, sting rays, Maori wrasses,eels, etc. "

"Pro-Dive cronulla took me for a learner and they were amazing and very patient with someone who has let themselves go (just a little bit). Have completed all my other dives with them. I have found them very accepting of all levels of diver. "
