Had a wonderful 2 days on Summer Jo. Cabins ideal, and the individual air conditioning units in each cabin are a welcome bonus. Up to 5 dives are offered - my husband did 3 including a night dive, and he said the dive team - Baylee, Jacob and Charlotte - were proficient, knowledgeable and safety conscious. The crew are professional first and foremost, but engaging, fun and caring people. They seemed to genuinely care that everyone was having the best time. We loved our time on there and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

I had such a good experience on the boat, the staff was amazing, the boat is really big and very cozy inside. There’s a lot of space to sit outside with hammocks, bean bags, … The Rooms are quite big as well and every room has their own shower/ toilet. Even tho the weather wasn’t the best the crew made the best out of it. Food was AMAZING big thanks for the chef. Diving was great, we some some turtles and Lou was a great dive master! Would definitely recommend to a friend

The crew were amazing. We had originally booked a 3 night trip that visited the outer reef and it was changed. I didn’t realize the boat held 33 guests. It was largely back packers. The young people were great but it did make for crowded conditions. In all we had a good experience.

Great trip and the crew really tried to make the trip work for the group. They do take you to Whitehaven beach & some great snorkel spots. The air con in each cabin also makes a huge difference. Definitely recommend to others
