We did a lot of research before we decided to book with Mission Beach Dive and so glad we did, after initially asking a few questions on Facebook and speaking to Nancy we decided to go ahead and book :) Out of 18 onboard we were the only 2 diving! The rest of the group were snorkelling only. We were welcomed onboard by Nancy, Frankie, Jimmy, Michelle & Daryl.
We were originally only going to do 1 dive as we had read some stories about the GBR devastation in some places and most boats being more snorkel based compared to divers, and being on a budget as travelling, but after the first dive lead by Daryl we decided yep we will go again as the reef we were taken to was beautiful, with so much to see, and we were the only boat there!
The onboard hospitality was amazing, everyone was so friendly and was so good to speak to the team onboard about our shared love of the ocean,diving and travelling.
The food was out of this world, I am vegetarian but I had plenty of choice, with pasta, salad, potato salad, beetroot, bread and fruit. All the veggie food, was vegan friendly too! And they did cater for gluten free and other dietary requirements. For the meat and seafood eaters, there was cold meats and fresh prawns.
The boat was well kept, multiple places you could sit and chill :) and ample room. Safety was paramount, and the team did an excellent job of looking after all of us! A girl on our boat decided to do a try drive and they were super professional and her safety was key which was awesome to see!
We are so glad we went with this small local business in comparison to some of the bigger names that run out of Cairns rather than Mission Beach like these guys do, definitely worth the drive down to have an amazing Great Barrier Reef experience.
Dive sites are pretty shallow, first one was around 20-24m and the second deepest was 12m but you get to have a longer good quality dive with loads to see! So cannot complain :)
We got to see some species native to the GBR like the Rainfords Butterflyfish, saw a big turtle, loads of rays, the cutest anemone shrimp as well as so much other life! All equipment was provided too which was high quality.
Cannot fault this company at all.
Thank you so much! Kim & Dean 01/02 - via
