The small swimming pool is also great for people travelling with young kids.
Submarine and glass bottom for those who dont want to get wet.
Full recommendation. Has to be the best operator on the Reef!
We did an introductory dive with Paul and he was amazing. So patient and cheerful. He explained, along with Tin, all about our experience and prepared us in advance as much as possible.
Another one we did was "Guided Coral Gardens Snorkeling Tour". Although it was windy, Alicia did her best to give a great experience. She has a great knowledge of the reef and even helped spot a small shark. All the tips she gave for snorkeling came quite handy.
Although the price might be a bit high compared to other providers, we found that the snorkeling suits were free to rent, The glass bottom tour was included and the introductory dive was around $30 cheaper than competitors'.
If you are planning for family, it's good to add all the optionals in advance and see the final price.
RACV also has a discount for the Reef Magic tour.
