3 nights and 4 great days under and above water! :)

Even after almost 30 years of diving in Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, I ended up in Australia with my son. We deliberately chose the Ocean Quest and not any other dive vessel due to its good recessions.We always dived with guides and especially William and Sam we can highly recommend!In addition to a real interest in the underwater flora and fauna, both always had a watchful eye on their group with whom they were in the water. Both during descent and when surfacing and especially in the course of the dive. Not only did I notice this, but also the other divers who dived with us. Thank you very much for the great time that the Qcean Quest Team made possible for us!

Instructors specifically William and Sam!!. Team on the dive platform - very professional!. Team on board!.

The highlight of our Queensland trip

My partner & I spent 2D/1N on Ocean Quest and it was truly the highlight of our trip. -He completed six dives (the maximum number possible) with guides from the team as well as buddies on board. At each briefing, the team runs through points of interests and is happy to help with any queries. -While he was diving, I completed a number of snorkelling sessions with another member of the team. Still fun and got to see plenty of reef creatures! -Food was absolutely delicious, compliments to the chef. -All members of staff, from the diving team to hospitality team, were super friendly, helpful and always happy to chat. -Vibes on the boat were amazing, everyone excited to be there! Highly recommend this trip.

Recommended for
Incredibly well organised - meals, dives & transfers all work like a well oiled machine. Friendly & approachable team. Comfortable cabin & lots of space on the sun deck and common areas.

Great ocean adventure!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time on all the different dives sites exploring the reef and aquatic life. All of the crew, from Captains Anna and Dany to Chef Marcos were always friendly, helpful and encouraging! Our dive guides (Diegho, Natalee, Jack, Simon) were so helpful - especially Diegho with his amazing energy and excitement at being able to show us the reef. Our nighttime flouro-dive was spectacular in its intimacy with the flourescence of the coral and the proximity of sharks (almost brushing us)! The chance to dive 4 times per day (or rest) and the crew's support is something we've never had before. One of us completed Advanced Diver certification, another Adventure Diver cert. They both said the chance to do-the-read and immediately apply the diving skills was so much richer than a dive class at home. The care of the crewe towards the conservation of the Great Barrier Reef and "flora and fauna" there is important too - with climate change this opportunity is fading unless huge changes can be made. The crew made us aware of this throughout. We loved our time on OceanQuest and would certainly return/rebook through Diver's Den in the future! Eliot (of the Nottleson family)
