Down Under Cruise and Dive

Tour operator

👍👍 When in Cairns, The Great Barrier Reef is a MUST see and Down Under has the best snorkelling/diving experience around. The boat is huge, plenty of room and we didn’t feel sea sick.

😠 BUYERS AWARE!!! I did my homework and chose Reef Encounter for 1) ensuite bathrooms 2) Food is suppose to be good 3) 10 dives in 3 days and boat moves twice a day. Well, most of it is true. Rooms are tired but clean. Aircon is good. Chef is very nice and although not gourmet food it's not bad. Boat...
