Comments and Feedback
Many thanks to the team from The Queensland Scuba Diving Company for getting our divers there and also to the lads the showed up with their scooters, they really did make it a whole lot easier. We even had a Dolphin dive bomb us on our checkout dive, the Gold Coast Seaway truly just is such an amazing Dive Site!
