    Great range of all types of gear, including wetsuits, I just bought a steamer and it was a really low price compared to two other shops that didn't have anything in my size, also cheaper than the online sales. Excellent friendly service. Also great tour guides that I have travelled with many times.

    Brilliant place to dive with a wonderful team! We spent a week in July 2020 doing double boat dives every day with Dive Forster. I haven’t had so much fun in ages! Ron, Gabby and Keith are just SO much fun, after a few days I felt like part of the family! And Ellie the border collie cattle dog mix just stole my heart as she patrolled the boat, made sure everyone was safe, and looked for dolphins to swim with.

    In our one week there we saw grey nurse sharks, giant logger head turtles, a giant Queensland grouper (about 2 meters long - HUGE!), green turtles, wobbygongs, various types of rays, and lots and lots of fish! ...

    I loved my time with Dive Forster and can’t wait to get back there.

    Had a great morning with the kids snorkelling, Gabby showed us the ropes and got us in the water, then lead the way to spotting some nudibranchs, octopus and lots and lots of sea cucumbers! Thanks Gabby for a great morning!
