Deep Sea Divers Den operates 2 day boats, SeaQuest and ReefQuest.

SeaQuest is aimed at the more discerning clientele who prefer lower numbers and a more personalised service. The day is very relaxed and the higher ratio of crew:passengers allows for an exceptionally high quality of service. This really is 5 star service for a very reasonable all inclusive price.
Anyone who is not confident about their diving or snorkelling capabilities or simply would like to be pampered should definitely choose SeaQuest.

ReefQuest is aimed more toward the budget traveller or those who want to maximise their time at the reef. ReefQuest leaves a little earlier then SeaQuest and is a little faster. This allows for more time at the reef which is why ReefQuest can offer 3 dives in a day.
