I did a 4 day, 3 night live aboard and loved every minute. The boat was really nice as were the staff and dive crew and the food was really good and plentiful. The equipment was ok and they had plenty of spares on board. The bunk rooms were small but they were only for sleeping in. The diving made... More

If you are in to people who don’t care if you have a good time and appalling customer service than this is the trip for you. I couldn’t believe the attitude of some of the staff on this trip. There was this one person in particular – Katie I think, who yelled at people for not sitting down when she... More

Having qualified to scuba a few years ago I decided to do the whole open water course again rather than a quick referesher. I had booked with Down Under Dive but they only had us two booked on the course so they off-loaded us to Diver's Den. It turned out to be a good move as Jared our instructor was... More

This was my third reef trip and it was the cheapest. That being said it was a great day out. The main point of difference is this trip gets back to Cairns at 4:30pm instead of 5 like the others- great if you had a 6pm flight to catch like I did. Our trip was full so the boat felt... More

If you are a certified diver - i'ts OK (but nothing more). If you are an intro diver - it's BAD. The guy took 3 intro divers, couldn't handle them. The dive was: go down, do some exercises, some photos (wtf??), go up. Discover SCUBA diving is NOT about that. If an instructor cannot take care of 3 students, he/she... More

I flew down to take a 3-day liveaboard dive trip with my 20-year-old son. It was everything I had hoped it would be. Although the accommodations are not 5-star (what do you expect on a dive boat?) we were comfortable and well-fed. The diving was great and we went to at least 4 different sites. The reef formations and the... More

Spent 3 days diving Normann reef on Taka. The boat is nice, the room is nice, food nice, people nice. Diving not so good. I expected a diving boat to take us to new sites for each dive, but it did not happen. We spent 3 days diving 2 not so good sites, not much color in coral. Best was... More

Great Day on the reef, perfect weather for it. Staff very professional, always ready to help and guided us if we needed it. Sites we were taken to had alot of animals to see (which is what every tourist wants). Would definitely use them again. More

What a fantastic way to spend an extended Easter weekend (6th-10th April 2012). The crew on Taka were great, as were our fellow divers. There were 23 divers on our boat, and plenty of room onboard to sunbathe, relax, watch movies on one of the two flatscreen TVs and spot dolphins at the bow of the boat. The diving was... More
