Amazing dive experience and excellent hospitality

All dives were well planned and organised in terms of safety and timing for busy periods and opportunity to see lots of amazing wildlife. Great variety of dives such as drift, wreck and reef. Dolphins and Giant Manta Ray amongst the top highlights. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed my week on the the Amelia.

We were very lucky during our dive on the south side of Elphinstone. Sharks and Dolpins in one dive. This more than made up for the north side and some of the other relatively mundane dive sites. In general if you like diving on reefs with coral gardens / pinnacles or through cave systems that are open to light above then this is the trip for you. The deep south tour is not something you should take if you are more interested in just seeing some sharks.

Recommended for
The crew were really very helpful, a very nice mix of divers from other countries, and some very nice dives.
