Awesome snorkel + intro dive experience - We are a family of 4, including 2 adult children, and while the other 3are good swimmers, I’m not as confident as them. I picked Calypso after much research and signed up for the all day trip to the outer reef. My wife convinced me to pin them into doing one introductory scuba dive at one of the 3 snorkeling stops.
I must say the dive experience was just amazing, mostly because of our instructors. Pam, our main instructor taught us the basics, and then dove with my wife and daughter. My son and I dove with another instructor, Timmy, who was also amazing. Timmy helped calm my nerves initially and led through an awesome dive experience that lasted 30 mins and top 6.7m.
The other 2 snorkeling experiences were amazing too. A relatively small boat with fewer patrons (compared to the one that followed us), and the crew was just amazing. I can’t recommend Calypso enough

Great time with a fantastic crew! - The crew was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful and patient especially with getting the kids set up with equipment. Snorkelling spots were incredible!
Good lunch and snacks. My kids has food allergies and it was assuring to know they don't use nuts in their kitchen.

I made a tripadvisor account just to leave my dive instructor ROMAN a 6/5 review. Highly recommend! - He was so patient and kind, especially with my being very nervous for my first ever ocean dive. Thank you for helping me cross off the biggest item on my bucket list! ♥

A fun day out at sea - Wonderful crew and boat! We were in the outer reef so be prepared for a long (2hour) ride out. We stopped at 3 locations. The crew is very knowledgeable and very safe.
Things to be prepared for: the ride can be very wet especially if you are in the exposed parts of the ship. If you are prone to motion sickness take the ginger tab they offer and consider bringing wrist bands for motion sickness.
The reefs are worth wait

Great day out. - Great day out snorkeling and diving. Those who dived within the group didn't think the diving was value for money due to the dive being cut short. They resurfaced to change their goggles, then didn't go back down. Might be better to take your own to get the full dive experience. The pictures they take are ok, reef ones are generic which is a bit disappointing as they didn't capture any of us near the reef. We still had a memorable day and these were just minor things. Highly recommend this tour company.
