The boat is big enough that the groups didn't collide in the pre-dive period. But during lunches and breaks, we were all together on the upperdeck in the back. All around great... More

Great crew, facilities and instruction. Had amazing conditions and 3 different sites in the day kept things very interesting. Super-low tides helped bring out amazing colours and we even saw a Wobbegong! More

My wife and I enjoyed diving and photographing three dive sites with the Poseidon crew and I can say it was a fantastic and enjoyable day.The crew are both friendly and professionals. The dive sites were teeming with fish and varieties of coral, the visibility reasonable. I would recommend this locally owned family business. More

We had a wonderful time. I have gone on many of these types of boat tours that take you out to reefs in other countries. What differed for me was: The staff on the boat did short presentations bout the fish that you see in the reefs and how the reef sustains life. I really enjoyed their presentations because I... More

Tahn was exceptional as was the lady Marine Biologist (her name escapes me). I travelled on last Saturday 12/05/12. Apart from one of the most attraction group of humans I have ever encoutered, they were also engaging, resourceful and had great facts and information on the reef. Amazing day with amazing sightings! turtls Fish and beautiful coral. Amazing Lunch and... More

Lots of explainations on where we were going and why it is special. Experiancing the extreme low tide and being able to have a snorkel tour... More
