Just book!

As overseas visitors we were a bit apprehensive about booking indirectly. No need to worry. Everything worked amazingly. Confirmation in no time from third party and Reef Adventures. Excellent value for money and professional and friendly crew took care of us all! Thanks to you all we had an amazing morning!
