Great experience & with good view
I booked through bookme.com & got for discounted price... It was a great experience & view was good..I did snorkeling & it was good & crew members were very helpful... Only thing which lacked was for vegetarians very less option on food & it is whole day trip.. appreciate to address that.

Great trip to the reef!
Great experience onboard the AquaQuest with the diversden team, which took us to two amazing reefs and provided us with everything we needed for snorkelling. The guides were all lovely, even got to see a turtle! Lunch was good and there were snacks and drinks on board available for purchase. You get to spend about an hour at each reef which is a good amount of time and the arrival back into port at 4:30pm makes it easy to do more with your evening. Would recommend!
