Awesome day out snorkelling (wider group went diving). There were plenty of fish to see off Okorotere Island in the marine reserve, the team was incredibly knowledgeable and safety-focused. It was a heap of fun I’d recommend to anyone

Had an absolute blast with these guys over a couple of days diving. Fantastic team, super welcoming and friendly despite it being a long time since our last dives. Great dive sites with fish galore and rays for days. Clear tuition and great craic, way better than Gili T!! Thanks to the whole team for a fantastic couple of days, great way to see the marine reserve!

Had a great 3 days with the Team down in Hahei. they were able to accommodate me at very short notice on their PADI open water course.
Could not have asked for a better place to dive. We were made to feel welcome and safe with Oscar, Josh, Etienne and Wendy. Plenty of amazing dives only a short trip from the beach. An excellent place to learn
We were real lucky with conditions, 20m visibility, loads of fish; including crays, rays, eels and kingies coming in for a feed on the shoals.
Great value for money, I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend for scuba/padi courses as well as snorkeling

Just spent 3 days with the team at CCD doing our Open Water Cert.
Oscar was a great instructor who made us feel very safe and also like it was just 3 buddies out for a dive. Skipper, Josh was a good laugh and Wendy is a great host and always kept us up to date with potential weather and changes.
We were lucky enough to see Crayfish, Rays, eels, snapper and little squid.
The business feels very much like a small family run business and we love to be able to support those smaller, more passionate companies. We are now certified and can't wait to get out and do some more diving with CCD again!

What a great day out! It was our second time diving with this dive shop and both times were equally as good! An experienced dive shop with skilled dive guides. The entire process was smooth. A quick boat ride out and you get to the most pristine dive sites in Hahei! We saw a lot of fish, stingrays and a couple of moray eels. Highly recommend!
