Would not honor their advertised online price for their Dive, Stay, Play package.

Long story short, we found the package advertised for $320pp and sent an enquiry on their website mid December 2022 saying 3 of us were interested in booking and wanted more details on dates/extra nights for February 2023.
We never received a reply. On 9th of January 23 we finally managed to get through to them on the phone to confirm some of the questions we had before booking and were told that the price per person has been increased to $350pp.

I was not ok with the price change, especially after chasing them for the booking. I called to discuss and after raising all my points, I was told they would not honour the original advertised price. I was told that they get “1000’s of emails”, that was the “2022 season price”, and the worst of all, “your email may have gone to our spam”.
Please note that the website does not indicate seasonal pricing.

I completely understand that prices have gone up. We always support our local businesses, and they would have easily recovered far more than $30pp from us in so many ways.

This is disappointing customer service for a business that meant to promote a fun and great experience. – via

After moving from Melbourne to Gold Coast two years ago, we had tried another dive centre off Runaway Bay, really average experience, the dive sites terrible with visibility two metres which really turned us off diving in Gold Coast.

We then thought we would give it another try with Manta Lodge a year and a half later and so glad we did.

First dive so many huge schools of fish and relatively easy dive, soooo good.

Second dive… MANTA!!!

Not just a Manta but one that was 3-4 metres wide, hung around for 5 minutes or so, just super cool. Saw beautiful 2 metre Leopard Shark, 3 or 4 Shovel nose, couple of eagle rays, turtles….seriously an epic dive!

For someone who dives Maldives regularly to see this in my own back yard was just amazing.

What was a breath of fresh air was the ease of transport, ferry ride, bus etc was super well organised and went really quickly.

Lastly, our dive master Hannah was a gem, lovely girl, experience, safety number one priority, just cant go wrong.

Lastly, on our way in we were surfing/drifting the waves with a school of dolphins, what a day!

Thank you guys, will be back – Dave & Eva – via

I had an amazing experience here!

After years of not diving I came here for a week while traveling around. At arrival was immediately able to join the refresher that was happening the next day. James was absolutely amazing he made me really confident in my skills again above and below the water.
Later in the week I was able to join a dive trip with the boat and had an absolute blast. Saw amazing sea life from dolphins to manta rays and sharks. James’ energy was as amazing and expressive underwater as above water, creating a lovely experience. Thank you to all the dive staff who made my stay amazing.
In high season you’ll want to book the dives beforehand though since they get booked full pretty quickly.

Next to that the hostel is a great place for solo travelers, there are enough friendly people around to chat and have a fun time with. The hostel is clean and has everything you need and more.

Highly recommend this place if you want to go somewhere to relax, work on the island, and/or have some great experiences in nature (on land, above the water, and below)! – via

This company takes your money and will not refund it. They cancel jumps at the last minute even if they weather is good. Be prepared to wait months for a jump – via
