The best! - Simply the best! Martin is a phenomenal divemaster, and my time exploring the reef with him was a highlight of my time in Australia. Don't hesitate to book a dive with Scuba IQ, you will not regret it. Thanks again!

Great Barrier Reef Diving - We had a great time with our dive master Martin who was very knowledgeable and kind. Even though the boat was big with a lot of people of various skill levels, he helped to make it a more personalized experience. He even took pictures/videos of us during the dives which was nice.

Martin is the Man! - Simply put as the title implies Martin is the man! Back in July, Martin was our instructor for our SDI Open Water Diving Certificate Course. First and foremost Martin was extremely patient with someone who has done very little diving and someone who has never dove at all. He entertained all questions (no matter how silly) and critiqued skills where he saw the need for improvements. Even though he uses another company's boat (Calypso) the entire process felt very personalized. This factor alone makes Scuba IQ worth it because many of the other operators/shops based in Port Douglas offered courses in large groups. The reef sites themselves were some of the most beautiful awe inspiring places that we have ever seen. Martin was extremely knowledgeable about the marine life at each of the reefs and provided tons of information after and before each dive. A testament to his teaching was a few days later when we went on another dive boat (based out of Cairns). When we asked another diver in our group (who has been diving for 40 years) how did we do he replied "that he would have no clue that we were just certified." This just shows how well prepared we were after completing Martin's course. Martin also was very insightful when it came to all things Port Douglas. He gave us multiple recommendations for restaurants and non dive related activities. He really set the bar very high for us when it comes to divemasters (also bonus points being an extra as an orc in LOTR)!

This was an incredible experience - We completed the Great Barrier Reef diving tour with Martin today. Martin was extremely knowledgeable about diving and the reef. He did an amazing job preparing us for the dives (two of us was our first time diving). He made sure we were always safe and prepared to know what to expect. We got to go to three different locations along the reef to dive and it was an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Martin and this tour

Martin at ScubaIQ provided an Unbeatable Dive Experience! - Martin was our dive guide for two days. He has connections with another company's boat to go to each site, but ensures a personal experience every step of the way. If we went to a similar dive site as before on different days, he ensured we swam a different path or got a lift on a smaller boat to a further location to swim back to the boat. He evaluated our diving abilities and paced our dives to our experience, rather then going with a large group of strangers and being forced to dive to the lowest experience level. He provided education on local marine life at the beginning and then a more relaxed "take-it-all-in" for the last dives. After diving with Martin, we will now be getting private dive guides moving forward. I can not recommend enough! Sidenote, the boat we went on, Calypso, had a photographer named Roxanne. They took excellent photos to capture your dives!

An AMAZING company to dive with! - I did 3 dives at different sites on Opal Reef. Martin was my guide, he was so knowledgeable and great at talking me through the dive. I’m still a little new to diving and he made me feel so at ease and excited to get in the water rather than nervous. The reef was stunning! The coral was beautiful and there were so many different species of fish. We also managed to see white tip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, a maori wrasse and a huge school of barracuda! Martin took some great photos for me on his Go Pro too such a nice touch! The best bit was that we hardly saw any other divers under the water, perfect trip if you want to avoid any overcrowding. Would definitely book again🐠🦈

Dive tour with Martin highly recommended! - A full day on the reef with Martin. Whale-watch experience on the boat. Best dive spots ever. Martin as a very nice and very very experienced smart guide took as away from the crowd and showed us the best parts of the reef. Highly recommended!

Professional and caring - Just a fantastic tour - Martin recommended a coffee shop for before, and he hung out with us despite another diver being our guide. Kyte was spectacular. He was patient, enthusiastic, comprehensively knowledgeable. I was very rusty as a diver and he calmly got me on track in minutes. These guys really love what they do and took great care of me and my teens.

Great time and wonderful tour guides - Our group of three had a great time. Our divemaster, Gus, helped give us a quick refresher, since it had been two years since our last dive. He answered all our questions and really made the time as stress free and relaxing as possible. The reef was amazing!
