Tusa Reef Tours

Friendly and energetic staff! Who know well what they are doing! We saw whales breaching on the way out and back. The dive spots are pristine and full of life(contrary to the rumours that the GBR is mostly dead due to bleaching). The ship was packed yet all our needs were taken care off. Definitely recommend!

We had a great time; topnotch team, boat, gear, food, dive sites, overall experience. The skipper made the cruise out and back (which was rough) great! Satomi our dive leader helped gearing up, pointed out small things that we would have missed, kept track of dive times and helped with the dive logs. Leave your gear on shore and take TUSA6.

We had an excellent diving experience: clear water, lots of fish and beautiful coral. We were extremely impressed with the customer service. They were very good at providing a great diving experience for different skill levels. We were particularly grateful to our dive master, Todd, as well as the informative marine life presentation by Michelle. This is a great outfit! We recommended it enthusiastically!

Tusa Dive gave us the experience of a lifetime while we were on our honeymoon! Between the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff down to the comedy and wittiness, they could not have been more amazing! I highly recommend this company! Photos taken by the Tusa staff ❤️

Amazing dive company and crew!! I can't say enough good things about our experience with TUSA Dive. I chose this company based on the reviews and I'm so glad I did. From the moment we boarded the boat we were greeted by friendly and informative staff. They were very organized and answered any questions we had prior to the dive. They truly spoil you by putting your flippers on for you, serving a delicious lunch, taking your picture with Nemo, and serving wine and dessert at the end of the trip! The biggest compliment we can give to TUSA is to our dive guide, Tamir. He was so patient and calm, I truly appreciated how helpful he was! I am sure all the dive guides are wonderful , but Tamir was top notch!! Thanks to TUSA, my boyfriend and I enjoyed an experience of a lifetime diving in the Great Barrier Reef!

My fiancée and I went for 3 dives with Tusa. Great friendly and funny staff. The lunch was better than we expected and had a pretty big spread with plenty to go around and grab some seconds. The equipment we used seemed in really good shape, and it’s a huge convenience that the staff sets up and breaks down everything for you. The price was more reasonable than all of the other day drip dives we looked at, but still think these prices to dive the reef are way too high! Natasha was our dive guide and she was great. The boat was very comfortable and didn’t feel overcrowded for its size. All said and done this is a good value as we are on a budget, but next time I would probably pay more to have the smaller boat experience with less people. You can get a lot of touristy snorkelers on the boat which adds a bit of chaos. I also thought having 6 divers to our dive guide was too many divers, but I know it’s the value we paid for.

My girlfriend, her friend, and I all did a 2 tank dive (you have the option to do 3) on our day trip out to the Great Barrier Reef. We had an amazing time. Your day doesn’t start terribly early, boarding is at 7:40 am, as one would think. The boat is very nice, clean, fast and accommodating. There was croissants and coffee after you check in, a good size lunch that will actually fill you up and your option of beer/wine to choose from when the day is done. You get a LOT of time out on the reef. Even doing a 2 tank dive we still had time to go out and snorkel and swim. The crew is great and well organized! They had everything down to a science to make sure you get the most time out on the water and the reef. I would happily go out with Tusa again if I’m ever back in Cairns!!

Great boat and a very professional crew whose contagious passion for diving made my intro dive an unforgettable experience. At no point did I feel unsafe as the instructors made sure we were properly ready to go down. Lunch included a variety of options and complimentary tea and coffee were provided as well. Take advantage of the professional photographer on board who can hook you up with some marvellous shots under water. Overall, a 5 star experience and would definitely come back again to dive with Tusa!

I did the 3 certified dives and I absolutely loved it! There were six certified divers to one instructor. The crew is really friendly and the dive guide, Todd was great! There is about 3 safety checks to make sure you are back on the boat after each dive. The lunch was delicious and had a lot of vegetarian options. Diving was probably my favorite thing that I did on my vacation. The reefs were even better than I anticipated. I would recommend Tusa Dive to anyone visiting Cairns!!

Great company to use if you want to experience excellent diving on the Great Barrier reef! The staff are all super friendly and helpful. By the end of the day they feel like old friends! The boat is great and i loved the buffet lunch served!! As for the diving, we saw loads of fish including turtles and some sharks! They take you out to great spots on the reef and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. The intro diving we did was excellent! Was amazing to be able to go down and sit on the bottom of the sea bed!! Loved it and would definitely recommend using them if you want to go diving from Cairns.
