I have dreamed of scuba diving on the great barrier reef my entire life. This trip exceeded all of my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. The crew was amazing! All of them were so kind, funny, knowledgeable, and respectful of the reef. I could definitely tell that they love what they do. Im not sure if I will ever have the opportunity to return to Cairns, but I would definitely do this trip all over again. Thank you for helping me make my dreams come true!
