Ocean Dive with Sharks

Terese 21 November 2023

As the heading states...OCEAN DIVE WITH SHARKS. We didn't go anywhere near where Scuba Steve "Captain said they go to see sharks just pointed to the area .....My Husband cut his finger we asked the captain if he had any thing to stop bleeding and he states there is a first aide kit....(Doesn't tell us where it is and doesn't ask if he is ok) Music on boat loud and captain didn't seem to want to engage in conversation with guests...All in all we had a terrible time...

Cassie

Hey Terese, thanks for your feedback. Great customer experience is incredibly important to us so we're deeply sorry to hear your experience has fallen short of expectation. We'd love to get a better understanding of what went wrong so we can discuss further with the Experience Operator. Could you please email me at info@redballoon.com.au, I'd be happy to help.

Breath taking experience

Codey 7 August 2023

The experience was second to none, Plenty of sharks and things to see. Always felt safe and the crew was always keeping an eye on the divers. Steve was a legend and brought a great attitude to the day and we were all making friends very quickly with the rest of the divers. just nothing bad to say at all.

Matt 17 July 2022

Shark dive was awesome, didn’t see any gray nurse sharks unfortunately but heaps of other wildlife and overall great experience for a learner Only fault is we bought the voucher thinking everything was all Inclusive, however when we arrived we were stung an extra 90$ pp each for equipment hire even though it states in this voucher that it is included

Fun diving experience

Subsurface scuba

Lisa 22 November 2021

The guys from Subsurface were absolutely amazing. Even though i didn't see a shark on this trip I still had an adventure of a life time challenging my fears. Our instructors were caring and put my fears to rest.

Diving with sharks

Luke 22 November 2020

Went diving on the sunshine coast and on the red balloon page it says free diving with sharks and travel out to reef on glass bottom boat. As the experience was great I was disappointed in the miss leading information as I didn't see any sharks plus there was no glass bottom boat.

The shark scuba diving was amazing
