Hi Guys

Any Ozbargainers have been on reef cruises and can talk about which ones they recommend? So far, the cheapest I found are:

Compass Cruises (http://compasscruises.com.au/) - $154 for snorkel + dive

Osprey V (http://www.downunderdive.com.au/osprey) - $199 for snorkel + dive

Passions of paradise (http://passions.com.au/prices/) - $230 for snorkel + dive.

Reef experience (http://reefexperience.com.au/tour/great-barrier-reef/) - $195 snorkel dive

Im leaning towards Compass Cruises because they are (surprisingly) cheap (most of other cruises are $200+ for snorkel+dive) which is making me worried. Their inclusions are same as all those other cruises. Have you guys tried out their cruises and how it compares to others?

Their packaged deals such as reef + white water raft is crazy good and its making me judge its quality.

    The compass boat is cheaper because it's slower and you don't get as much time out on the reef.

    I found that you can get discounts via bookme.com, especially if your date is flexible…

    Try Ocean Freedom and Ocean Free. Great boats and amazing crew.

    The dives are slightly longer and they only take 2 persons to dive with 1 crew member as some of the boats take 4 persons to dive with 1 crew member.
