11 months agoIt's a unique diving experience in a beautiful place and definitely worth trying once in your life. The course before diving is very knowledgeable for knowing more creatures in the rainforest. The instructor, Luana, is amiable and caring. I would like to recommend friends to come.

3 years agoI had a wonderful dive. It was my first time for a fresh water- it was very cold but the 7mm wet suit helped with that and visibility was pretty good too. I got to see three different turtles including a baby and I saw a shrimp and also an eel tailed cat fish which look interesting. The owner of the company isn very welcoming and kind and even gave me a very welcomed tea to warm up afterwards. 100% recommend this experience.

6 years agoUnfortunately didn't see a platypus but that's nature, but really enjoyed it! If you love diving and can respect and appreciate the small things then it's a must do! Lunna was lovely, really Great guild picked me up and dropped me to mackay. Gave all the relevant information and more! Also got to pet a huge bull and see a brown snake on the way was a great bonus. MUST DO! THANKS 😊

4 years agoA couple of hours ago, we were diving in the river in eungella ! What a great moment ! The owner and Julian gave us many informations about the platypus and the animals we saw! They were both very friendly and had big knowledge. Even if we havent seen the platypus, we saw so much in this river! Its unusual to dive only 2m deep but its interesting to discover this environment ! I recommand 100% P.s sorry for my english

a year agoDived in 2020, please do not book if you are expecting platypus as this understandably cannot be guaranteed. There is not much to see unless you are into creek diving...
