Fantastic day on and under the water! We upgraded to the gold vip option and it was perfect. Brooke and Junior were amazing guides inside and out on the reef. Would definitely recommend and would do this tour again in a heartbeat

I had such an amazing day with Down Under Cruise and Dive as a solo traveller. I did 3 certified dives, and every single one was incredible. A huge thank you to Indi, my dive master, who was fantastic, knowledgeable, calm, and made the whole day completely stress-free while making sure we had so much fun. The entire crew onboard were also outstanding. Even with around 150 people on the boat, they remembered our names and went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and included. Their friendliness and professionalism really made the experience special. I’d highly recommend Down Under Cruise and Dive to anyone looking for a fun, well-organised, and memorable day on the reef!

Boat gets busy and water gets busy. Food was not seasoned and below average. Staff were amazing cleanliness can be improved.
