Wave Break Island Scuba Diving on the Gold Coast

Based on the details listed in the website I realistically expected to swim in deep water where I could not touch the floor, through lots of different fish and corals for 4 hours. This was certainly not the case and I was left very disappointed. I didn't see a variety of fish or any corals, was in shallow water for roughly 1 hour. I definitely would not have booked this trip if I had known the realistic details upfront. Website states "you’ll start by learning the basics in the safety of the shallow water, and will have time to practice the different diving techniques, memorize the safety rules, and familiarize yourself with the equipment before heading out. Once you’re feeling comfortable, jump back on the boat and sail out to one of the island’s dive sites"..... This was not my experience. We remained in shallow water, approx. 10m from the shore and did not go back on the boat to a deeper location or different site. Obviously that close to shore is not going to provide corals, the opportunity to swim or see a large amount of fish varieties. Website states: "explore the underwater world of the Gold Coast, and swim among a rainbow of tropical fish and other marine life" ... this was not true for me, saw 1 type of silver fish with an occasional small black one Website states: "On completion of your guide, you’ll be presented with a dive certificate" - did not receive this Website states: After around 4 hours on the island return to shore, where a driver will be waiting to take you back"...... i did not spend 4 hours on the island. My total tour time was 4 hours from hotel collection at 7am to return at roughly 11am ... Time on island was approx. 1.5 hours and time in water was roughly 1 hour with some of this being safety so actual time looking at fish in very shallow water is less than that. I do not feel the experience details described my trip accurately. I had high expectations based on the description, which were not met. Maybe this was a one off or plans changed but overall I was left feeling very dissapointed after what was supposed to be one of the highlights of my holiday.

It is an absolutely amazing experience. The staff/instructors are wonderful people who help make the experience so much better!!
