Such an awesome day with the crew from Beneath the Bay! Everyone was just so happy to be there, staff very attentive and patient. Good quality dive gear also noted, lots of time to set up your gear/eat & drink/get your bearings back on the boat. Highly recommend, hope to be back again :)

Very impressed with how this crew operates. My tank fell out at the surface…..not a problem. I was helped to get BC and tank off in the water so I could get back on the boat. I enjoyed the healthy options for a snack. Highly recommend this charter group. And the diving was fantastic with a great dive master.

We had such an amazing time with the beneath the bay crew! As a beginner diver it was really comforting to be surrounded by such experienced and patient divers. I felt my form improve in just two dives! The sites were absolutely spectacular and we swam with grey nurses, cuttlefish and a school of king fish (and much more)!

I did a double boat dive today and highly recommend!I booked in online and Tammy was very helpful and prompt with organising my spot on the boat. Norm and Ken were very experienced divemasters and made the whole experience very enjoyable. And Mick was a great skipper and provided loads of snacks during the surface interval whilst we chatted about all the life below.One of my favourite dive trips so far and definitely a must-do with the Beneath the Bay crew!
