This was a difficult review the staff were very good service was good however the overall offering was not value for money and the food served was poor. If you are a backpacker or student on a gap year this would be 5 stars, if you are a certified diver would be 4/5 stars other than that 3 stars at best

Loved this so much! Annabel was fantastic. Axel did a great job with the briefing. It was the best thing about Cairns. Must do!

On an ocean quest tour for 3 days and 2 nights with my friend in Australia, we experienced some of the best days of our lives. Venturing out to the Great Barrier Reef with Divers Den was a decision I'll never regret.
The team at Divers Den was not only friendly but also incredibly approachable. Even if English isn't your strongest language, they go above and beyond to ensure you have the best diving or snorkelling experience possible.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Taylor, one of the diving staff, for her genuine attentiveness and empathy towards us. She assisted us with everything from gear to hand signals and breathing techniques and even communicated our needs to other staff members when necessary. Thanks to her guidance, our introductory dives went well and smoothly.
Overall, I highly recommend booking a tour with Divers Den to everyone.

Wow, that was unforgettable in the most positive way possible!
Did the introductionary dive (originally planned "just" snorkeling but an upgrade was offered and I thought 'why not?') and was really glad about it for several reasons. The main reason was: I briefly tried snorkeling as well but the sea was a but rough and it would have been difficult to snorkel for a longer time without swallowing a lot of water I assume, whereas the water felt perfectly calm underneath the surface.
Great job by the crew in preparing and assisting us newbies, thanks!!

This place is terrible for new divers. ZERO safety plan gone over before dives. Rushed in the water both dives. Half the boat was puking over the side by the time we got there (Why couldnt they tell us before departure it would be such rough seas when they immediately told us after it took off?) To top it off I paid extra to have a 1:1 person with me for the dive and low and behold they went up with out me.
Second dive they put me with an INTERN as the dive master with AGAIN no safety plan gone over and no safety stop going up. I neded up getting the bends . I have no idea how such a lack of ssafety hasnt led to more people being injured. Find ANY company other than this and one who takes safety serious. Also why at the bottom when taking pictures do they have people grab the coral? That cant be good for it right?

We had so much fun on the 2D1N diving trip with Divers Den from Cairns! The team did an awesome job keeping everything on track, the beds and room were super comfy plus there was so much food. It's obvious the crew are seasoned pros and its clear safety and fun are at the top of the dive teams priorities. We're looking forward to returning and would definitely recommend this trip. We were a group of 2 x newly certified OW divers and 1 x AOW diver.
Massive thanks to Anna for being so patient, helpful, and encouraging when I needed it most. You're amazing and I'll never forget you <3. Shoutout to Danny and Roig for showing us some truly unforgettable underwater sights, and to Alfa for being so kind and reassuring on the dive deck. You all helped make our trip exceptional.

What an extremely helpful and friendly crew. I wasn't good at snorkeling at first, but they did their best to help me find a mask that really closed and I was allowed to hold on to a buoy so that I could watch in a relaxed way. Really sweet. Underwater it's like a fairy tale. Colorful and even saw a shark and a turtle. Thank you for this highlight of our trip.

My partner and I did the 4 day PADI Open Water diving course with Divers Den and it was the best experience ever. We had a great time in the pool, in a safe and friendly environment to learn all the skills. Lewis was a great teacher - very supportive and calm! Then we spent 2 days on Ocean Quest Liveaboard completing our open water dives on the Great Barrier Reef. Despite the conditions being less than ideal, we had a great time practicing diving under the supervision of Hannie. She was super enthusiastic and motivating, making sure we were safe and doing a good job! Best experience so far and can’t wait to come back for more time diving on the liveaboard!! Thank you very much Divers Den!!
