I had the best time on the reef encounter! Met some amazing people, did some beautiful dives and loved waking up and watching the sunrise on the boat. I went with my dad for his 60th birthday and he achieved his OW certification on the boat - he had lovely instructors. I seriously did not want to leave and am excited to get back on the boat hopefully sometime soon!  Shoutout to Jaz, Elea, and Rodrigo!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this trip! There were a few small mishaps along the way, but the staff went above and beyond to make the best of every situation. The boat itself fosters such a wonderful sense of community — I felt so lucky to meet so many amazing people from all around the world.
Originally, I joined as a solo snorkel passenger, but the crew kindly found room for me to join an introductory scuba diving briefing. The instructors were incredibly patient with my initial discomfort and gently encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. Their passion and support inspired me to keep pushing myself to grow.. I’m so grateful for that encouragement!
A special thank you to the incredible marine biologist on board for sharing her brain's fascinating knowledge, and to the entire staff from 10.11.25–11.11.25 for making this experience unforgettable.

We had amazing time exploring Great Barrier Reef on our 3 day reef encounter. Instructors were very helpful and always available to accommodate our needs. Food was pretty good too but condition this boat is in wasn’t good enough. It’s way too old, dirty, visually not appealing at all and should be replaced by something more modern.

很贴心的潜水公司，预定了三天两晚的船潜，单独会有一位潜导接待，是一个中国的小妹妹airy，非常细心和友好，潜水担心我害怕还会一直牵着我的手，如果有华人一定找她做潜导！人超级nice~
下船以后我的项链还落在了船上，后来工作人员帮我找到了，还帮我联系了快递邮寄，很负责任拾金不昧的公司和员工，太感谢啦！！！
船上的工作人员对客人都非常友好而且细心，完美的一次旅行，大堡礁潜水推荐~

We just returned from a 5-day, 4/night live aboard stay on Reef Encounter. The food was delicious and the diving was incredible. Best of all, the staff (Sofia, Maria, Delaney, Eleanor, captain Matt, and Jasmine) made this trip memorable. I’ve only given 4 stars because I think Reef Encounter (as well designed as she is) needs some dry dock love. She is in need of a paint job and other major maintenance. On the minor maintenance side, we actually spent time tightening loose screws in our room because we kept cutting our selves and getting snagged on loosened screws. Give that lady some lovin’!!

1박 2일 동안 총 4번의 스쿠버 다이빙과 2번의 스노클링을 진행했습니다.

장점: 모든 크루들이 매우 친절합니다! 크루즈에 타는 것과 스쿠버 다이빙 경험 모두 많지 않아 걱정이 많았는데, 친절한 크루들의 도움으로 완벽한 휴가를 보낼 수 있었습니다.
특히 체험 다이빙 과정에서 너무나 많은 도움을 주신 David 에게 감사드립니다! 스쿠버 다이빙을 배워야 한다면 꼭 이분께 수업을 받으세요.

단점:
스쿠버 다이빙 장비가 노후화되어 고장이 많았습니다. 첫날에는 레귤레이터 고장으로 2번이나 장비 교체를 진행했고, 둘째날에는 BCD가 고장나서 2번이나 교체해야 했습니다.
특히나 bcd의 고장은 바다에 들어갔다가 공기가 급격히 빠져나가는 leak가 발견됐는데, 마침 파도가 거셀 때라 배 위로 복귀하는 데에 매우 어렵고 공포스러운 경험을 하게 되었습니다. 이는 uncertified 다이버들에게도 발생할 수 있는 문제이니만큼, 반드시 심각하게 다뤄주셨으면 합니다.

My girlfriend and I had a great time scuba diving for the first time with our instructor David Lin. He was very patient and ramped things up at the perfect pace until we were comfortable swimming by ourselves a short distance away. Highly recommend for anyone interested at all in trying out scuba!
