It sounds like your experience had significant challenges, and I'm sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations. Here's a polished version of your feedback: The communication from the scuba guides was poor, and there seemed to be a lot of confusion among the boat staff about what the tour was supposed to include. Underwater, we felt like we were being herded and rushed, raising concerns about safety. On our first dive, a large portion of the time was spent on a photoshoot with cliché poses meant to upsell a photo package, rather than letting us fully enjoy the stunning coral views. The pre-dive briefing was lackluster and lacked an adequate focus on safety, which was disappointing. On the boat ride back to the marina, the staff were uncomfortably pushy about reviews. They asked everyone to leave a review, then returned about 15 minutes later asking if they could take photos of the reviews we submitted—something I found inappropriate given we were still in their care. I even overheard them incentivizing reviews by offering free professional underwater photos, which felt disingenuous. While the underwater views were undoubtedly beautiful, the food onboard was bland, and most of the meat had run out before we had our turn. Overall, the staff's behavior and professionalism left much to be desired.

This was by far the worst diving experience I’ve ever had. The guide was inexperienced, rushed everything underwater, and even damaged the corals. To make matters worse, they promised me a 50% refund after this disastrous day, but I never received it. Save yourself the disappointment—this place is not worth your time or money.

This was the best excursion I’ve ever been on in my entire life! As a first-timer, I had the chance to dive with two different instructors who were absolutely brilliant. They were incredibly patient, ensured I had the best experience possible, and even took some adorable pictures. The rest of the crew was warm, friendly, and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Visiting White Island was fascinating, and if, like me, your swimming skills are questionable or non-existent, don’t worry—they make sure you’re safe every step of the way. I had an absolutely amazing day and would love to do it all over again!
