Amazing!! I have been out on Evolution a few times and absolutely love it every time! My dive with Kanani was quite possibly the best I have done on the Great Barrier Reef so far. Being a local who loves adventure, that says it all! My buddy did an Intro Dive and snorkelled and equally enjoyed the experience. Thankyou to all the staff for a brilliant day and I will see you next time :)

My wife and i experienced a day on the Great Barrier Reef, the weather and seas were horrible but you can’t plan for that. Our first stop was ok but difficult to snorkel our second reef was spectacular for fish and coral the colours were amazing. But, what made our trip memorable was the staff on board. All were welcoming and helpful full of smiles and some stories. My wife had the misfortune of being sea sick on the return leg and again they did not shy away but went above and beyond to comfort her and assist. To all the crew on board thank you for making our day as enjoyable as possible I can only imagine how much more fun it would be on a calm day

"I went to Australia to snorkel the outer Great Barrier Reef with Down Under Cruising Dives. It was an incredible experience! The staff, the boat, and the snorkeling were all fantastic. We had such a wonderful time exploring two different areas and even took a helicopter ride. It was absolutely amazing and beautiful—a memory I'll cherish forever."

The crew was friendly, took us to great spots. Saw even a shark. Was nervous before my first scuba diving, and I absolutely loved it. Food was delicious, buffet style, great variety. I would recommend this tour.

This reef tour was top notch. I would give it a 6 if I could. All crew members were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was so well organized. The lunch was spectacular with many options. I saw lots of amazing fish at both reefs. I would highly recommend this tour.

I ended up having a seizure on deck prior to snorkeling, which meant I was not able to snorkel for the remainder of the trip. The staff were unbelievably nice and helpful the entire time. They gave me a private room and continuously checked on me. They made what could have been a horrible experience much more pleasant!
