Very happy with the guys accommodating us, granted the weather was not the best for the time i spent in the area and yet Barra Reef Divers still accommodated us and gave us a snorkel/dives/ and a exploration we could take home with us, we will return to experience an even better time

Had a great and memorable diving experience with the crew from Barra Reef Divers! Russel and André were great in recommending the spots to dive at and making one feel confident and relaxed during the dives. The skipper was also very helpful on the boat with the kits and they don't make it feel rushed. Look forward to more dives with them. Great service, equipment and facilities!! Great value for our buck!

Diving: Great experience, crystal clear water and visibility is amazing. Water temperature is comfortable and makes diving in this area pleasant. We also did the day trip Snorkeling off a boat: This landed up being the highlight of our trip as we were blessed to snorkel with a Whale Shark. What a EPIC and memorable experience, I’ll never forget this. There were lots of jellyfish and I got stung on the lip so I looked light I had injected my lips like some Hollywood celebrity but it was worth it. All it took was a little vinegar and it goes away no problem. We saw a turtle and some shy dolphins but of course the highlight was the Whale Shark, had no problem with us swimming with it and I swam underneath this beautiful creature to see it had a few fish swimming underneath. What a sight. The service of the staff was super and they pointed out so much to us and were Knowledgeable about the area and the sea life. Thank you.
