I found the whole experience amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I was quite apprehensive before I booked as I have never taken a trip by myself before. When I phoned PoD for information the staff were really helpful and reassuring. Booking was easy and the information I received was very detailed. I was particularly impressed with the recommendations given for the weekend accommodation and the fact that I was met at the airport when I arrived. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Polly, Chris and Laura who run ReefCI were great fun and made sure we all had the best holiday. They were totally flexible and made sure we did as much conservation work we wanted or just do fun dives. The island was simply idyllic with lovely shady palm trees and simpIe but pretty cabanas right next to the sea. You went to sleep and woke up to the sounds of the waves and could lie in bed looking out at the ocean. Awesome! I was really surprised at the standard of food, and we had a delicious cooked meal after every dive. If anyone was thinking of going, I would definitly say don’t hesitate – just do it!
I’d wake up at about 6 and lie in bed looking out at the sea, listening to the waves. I’d get up at 6.30 ish for a cup of coffee, fresh fruit and biccies before going for the first dive at 7.30. Delicious cooked breakfast after the dive then chill before the next dive at 11.30. After diving on one of the numerous beautiful reefs near the island, we’d return for a cooked lunch, then either look at photos from the dive, check identification books to name fish we’d seen, listen to Polly give presentation about the ReefCI project, or just lie in a hammock and read! Another amazing dive at 3.30, then shower once back on the island and dinner in the evening. It was tough!
Diving with experts and having fantastic reefs all to ourselves. Polly, Laura and Chris taught us so much about marine life and conservation, but also made it really fun. They have a 100% safety rate and made sure that was maintained at all times.
It was the perfect mix of adventure, fun and relaxation
