Absolutely OUT OF THE WORLD experience & exceptional staff! I spent two days on the boat, both dive trips the team bent over backwards to make the whole day super fun and informative! Yummy complementary lunch and snacks! If you’re lucky enough to see a MANTA RAY or WHALE! The team will do their best to ensure you get a glimpse and have’a swim! Thank you DIVE SPEAR SPORT! I’ll be back!!

Had the best time with Dive Spear and Sport 1770, was a bit nervous as I had only snorkeled once in shallow water but I felt super comfortable and saw so many amazing creatures!

Went for the double dive this week and had an awesome time. The crew are responsible, approachable and friendly. This was one of the only dives I’ve done where the instructors called me by my name and I didn’t feel like a number. I’ll also say I felt like they treated me like an adult. Other tours I’ve been on have been so large that their risk mitigation strategy was to helicopter parent, and it ends up taking away from the day. Complete opposite with DSS1770. When a huge manta ray passed us, we were free to grab our snorkels, jump in and respectfully approach ie swim with the manta! The diving itself was beautiful. Lots of variety of sea animals and corals. Would recommend this company to loved ones. The only downside is the cost, but it’s on par with other companies and I think given that we were out all day and had lunch, snacks, coffee and such great guides, it was definitely worth it.

Fantastische dag gehad met de crew. Ze hebben er alles aan gedaan om ons allemaal zoveel mogelijk te laten zien. Ook na het duiken mochten we af en toe nog in het water als er iets te zien was. Zo hebben we een grote manta ray mogen zien. Jesse gaf op een humoristische manier leuke informatie. Schildpadden, rifhaaien, manta rays, nemo en dora en nog vele andere vissen en koraal gezien. Ik had al lang niet meer gedoken, maar heb me goed begeleid en op mijn gemak gevoeld. Echte aanrader!

An incredible day ! We started early in the morning with a welcoming team. As soon as we left the marina, a whale marked the beginning of the day. A 90-minute speedboat ride took us to the highlight of the day: a magnificent and unspoiled reef. Conservation and education are an integral part of the team's program. They collect data, visit the reef several times a week, and participate in its conservation and sustainability. It was very enriching to learn more about the reef, the species, and the projects surrounding it. We went snorkeling, while others went diving. Snacks and lunch were provided, accompanied by jokes, laughter, and good humor. I highly recommend this activity !

Nous avons passé une incroyable journée avec Carmen, Jess, Fred & Andy ! L’équipe est adorable, extrêmement serviable. Ce sont de réels professionnels de la Grande Barrière qui nous sensibilisent au mieux pour la préserver, prêts à répondre à toutes nos questions et bien équipés pour expliquer ce que l’on peut y voir, comment collecter des donnés pour mesurer l’évolution du récif,.. Tout était parfait : le matériel, les collations, le repas. Nous vous recommandons vivement de vivre une journée avec eux !

Had the most amazing day out on the snorkelling tour! The crew were incredible – so knowledgeable, friendly and always happy to help. We loved learning not only about the local marine life but also the rich cultural significance of the area. A special shoutout to Carmen for all the info and to Matt for guiding us through the water – we saw so many sea creatures and had a lot of fun along the way. Truly an unforgettable experience!
