The scuba diving was excellent and the staff seemed very experienced and knew what to do. The boat that took us that was very large but their bathroom on the boat did not have working taps and therefore I couldn't wash my hands. The water isn't that cold even though I visited in winter and was was pretty average but was still mildly enjoyable. Although some equipment could be upgraded such as the fins were either too big or too small or uncomfortable, the majority of the equipment was pretty good. Overall, you should visit this place if you ever visit Cairns.
