We had a fantastic experience with Keppel Dive completing our PADI Open water scuba certificate. Kelly was fun, knowledgeable and a great teacher getting us comfortable and competent quickly. I particularly appreciated the time taken to explain things when they didn’t quite click. The setting was superb with varied diving, a great team (thanks to Jen, Blair & Luca) and while the weather was average the crew & Kelly helped us overcome it to have a truly magical experience. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely people from booking in to going on the boat. the skipper was very knowledgeable and happy in his job. Lovely day for a cruise as we saw a dugong; turtles and dolphins.

The snorkel tour was worth it. Our informative guide took us to a great area to see a variety of coloured fish and coral. We also saw stingrays and a turtle. It was a great afternoon in the water.

Had a fabulous day on the water a couple of times with Keppel dive and sport
First day they dropped us off at butterfield beach for the morning then picked us up again for our eco snorkel with them for the 1pm outing which was pretty good
We then had them drop us off to humpy island for the day a couple of days later. They organised ferry crossing a cabana for the day and due to the weather conditions suggested humpy island for shelter from the wind conditions to make our snorkel experience the best it could be. We were snorkeling pretty much just after we got there for the day. All the staff were excellent and felt safe with them special mention to Jenn for her knowledge of the area and her recommendations

Great experience. Great guide. Visibility wasn’t great in the water but we still loved the experience nonetheless and appreciated the boat ride along the coast line. Stunning 😊

My kids and I went on the Eco Snorkelling Tour and had an absolutely wonderful time! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Our guide was incredibly patient with the kids, took the time to answer all of our questions, and really helped us appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of the reef. It was not only fun but genuinely educational as well.

All the staff were super friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome and safe the entire time. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do and about protecting the reef.

We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Great Keppel Island — such a memorable experience for the whole family!

Mind blowing and inspirational. Although we are getting on a bit my brother and I were treated to a fantastic experience of a close up view of the Great Barrier Reef at Monkey Point, Great Keppel. (Spoiler alert, there are no monkeys.)
We both had a limited experience of snorkelling and open swimming but the equipment we were given, sting suit, flippers and state of the art goggles, plus superb flotation aids, made it an effortless 70 minutes of serenity, observing the life of the reef. I was spellbound and speechless. A fantastic, once in a lifetime, experience.

We loved the boat tour! The staff member was friendly and made the two-hour ride informative and enjoyable. The kids had a great time as well.

With help from great staff we got a beach drop-off and pickup for some snorkeling at Monkey Beach. We will be doing that again next year. I believe that the cost of catching the mini barge was well worth the money because it took only a few minutes after lifting the ramp to landing on the beach. Last year we walked to Monkey Beach and it was an hour of walking on a hot day. Do check their website for all of their stuff for hire and beach drop-offs and also cruises.

Fantastic experience as part of our school group. Everyone we came across was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Loved it!

We had a beautiful experience snorkeling. The staff were amazing. They covered every detail that we need to learn and know. There were thunderstorms and high winds predicted during the day, and they watched the weather perfectly and we were able to do our snorkeling and return to the island before any storms arrived. We would definitely do this again.

​I recently had the most fantastic time diving with Keppel Dive & Water Sports on Great Keppel Island, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Everything about the experience was absolutely top-notch, earning them a solid 5 out of 5 stars. ​The location is pure paradise with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water. What truly elevated the day, however, was the fantastic staff. The team is professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From the moment we arrived, they made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and ready to have fun. Their warmth and expertise created such a positive and fun diving experience.

We have dived with Keppel Dive and Water Sports a few times over the past year and it’s always an amazing experience! Carl, Jenn and the team are always professional and efficient, but also lots and lots of fun, very accommodating and just an all round amazing dive!! Will be back again soon 🐬🐟🐠🦈🐋🐢🪼🤿 🚤

I had an amazing time on the kayak guided tour! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing so much interesting information about the coral reef and the island. It was such a unique experience to learn while kayaking and enjoying the stunning surroundings. The beaches were absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for both adventure and great memories!

We had an awesome day on Great Keppel Island. The area is pristine, with clear water. We chose the ferry and lunch package. The ferry ride takes about half an hour and was calm and relaxing. The lunch was delicious! The whole experience was brilliant value for money!

Had a great experience while on Great Keppel Island of being taken on a beach drop off to secret beach to snorkel and relax on the beach for 3 hours then picked up again. Well worth the money to have a beach to yourself. On the way out Jen provided us with a entertaining trip with lots of local knowledge. We will be back.

This was the best $65 I have spent in a long time. Dive guide, captain and reception staff were excellent. I hadn’t expected much in the way of coral or even many tropical fish. I was wrong. The coral was coming back well after bleaching a couple of years ago and was varied and interesting as were the many fish and two green turtles. Beautiful sunny day and quiet clear waters. The guide was very supportive and encouraging to everyone whatever their level of swimming or snorkeling.

Great snorkeling experience. They took us to secret beach (only accessible by boat) and despite the weather being windy and cloudy, Jen managed to turn it into a beautiful experience. She showed us the corals and the multiple fish that live in the reef. Had lots of fun! Definitely worth it!

A great double boat dive with Keppel Dive. The team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and have an obvious love for the reef. The ferry was booked for me as part of the dive, which made it very easy to visit from Yeppoon.

Definitely recommend Keppel Dive and water sports! As it was our first time to Keppel, we opted for a day trip, wanted to get a good taste of the island, beaches and snorkelling. Keppel dive recommended the drop off transfer service. We were dropped off at Secret Cove beach from 930am-12pm, which was stunning (we had it to ourselves!) and then we were dropped off at Monkey beach till 4pm-the reef was beautiful there and the beach amazing too. We found the staff very helpful, happy and very accommodating and would not hesitate recommending Keppel Dive and water sports. In fact our experience has made us decide to get our diving licence and come back to explore more!
Thank you!

Received a voucher to do an Open Water Course and Keppel Dive has been there the whole way from organising the online course through to ferries back and forth and great practical demonstrations and follow on with the dives. Shout out to Pierre who has been an awesome instructor and the crew. Thanks and will be back to do the Advanced course. Cheers.

From reservation to diving, the support was amazing. This is a world-class padi center. We were beginners (our 1st open water dive after certification) and felt welcomed and appreciated without any stress. Special shoutout to Em and Anton for being amazing and calm dive masters

Great day snorkeling trip with Keppel Dive team.
Very helpful and attentive staff. Easy snorkeling experience. Very safe with good equipment and a lot of marine life to see and observe in protected environment. Thank you

Awesome upbeat crew, activities for all ages and capabilities. You really just need to bring yourself and the camera. Many happy memories thanks to Keppel Dive!

The club has been improved a lot since the last time we visited. The divings were well planned by the supportive and nice team.

We had Perfect Bouncy course with Ines. Her patience, professionalism, and smile made the experience absolutely enjoyable for us.
Thank you Ines and your diving team 😊

We had a wonderful afternoon snorkelling with Jen today. She was fun, knowledgeable, and patient with our kids! We saw a turtle, stingray and wobbegong. Thanks again guys!

I have had the pleasure of getting multiple boat taxis with Keppel Dive, and each experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Not only have we utilized their services for boat taxis around Great Keppel Island, but i have also explored the underwater wonders of the region with their expert scuba diving team.

The staff at Keppel Dive are incredibly helpful, always willing to lend a hand with weather conditions and best places to go based on weather, provide valuable guidance, and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Their knowledge of the area and passion for diving shines through in every interaction, making each dive or taxi excursion memorable and exciting.

I highly recommend Keppel Dive to anyone looking for a top-notch diving or boat taxi experience in the Great Keppel Island area. Their professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I look forward to many more dives with Keppel Dive in the future!

Had a great experience with Keppel Dive this Easter - did a couple snorkelling trips and also used their drop off service to access Secret Cove.
Had the privilege of a Reef Master as a snorkelling guide which was brilliant as she could spot animals that were well camouflaged and shared her knowledge.

There were a couple people on our tour that couldn’t swim and they were supported to enjoy the experience safely and confidently.

Highly recommend

Had the best time on a 2 tank dive with Jen, Tilly and Katie. We visited wreck and bald diving spots and saw an amazing amount of life on both reefs. I felt in great hands with divemaster Katie, she helped me feel comfortable again with a refresher dive to secret since it had been a long time since I last dove.. Highly recommended!

Had a snorkeling and island transfer booked and paid for with Kepple Konnections, when we got to Keppel Dive on the island (who are supposed to have the equipment put aside) the manager simply told us they don't have any snorkeling gear left, he didn't care that my two kids were standing there disappointed, he said it wasn't his problem as we booked with someone else! Simply couldn't care less if he tried, a horrible excuse for a human being please avoid supporting a company like this. He offered no alternative no solution, nothing just not his problem. I felt scammed. Keppel Konnections informed me they may remove his contract as he has behaved like this in the past.

Very enjoyable double dive experience. Ferry booking was easy through the dive center. Upon arrival they helped transport my gear up the beach to the center, nice little touch.
The dive center is very cosy and characterful, very much tropical paradise vibes. Their boat is spacious, clean, and a lovely ride out to the divesite.
Jen the skipper had an awesome personality, very friendly and engaging.
Dive guide Katy was also very good, friendly, professional and led two very relaxed 50min dives underwater so we saw plenty.
The coral life and marine life are excellent, some of the best I have seen, I was amazed at the health and quantity of what I saw.
Easy gear washing facilities and a shower afterwards.
As an instructor myself, I can attest to the quality, Im very happy I dived here and will certainly return and certainly recommend.

Loved paddling around on the SUPs, customer service was great, prices are good.
The only issue was the SUPs are in a bad state of disrepair. The rubber is all frayed and ripping off, and the front of the SUPs have these moulded plastic holes that are supposed to have plastic bungs in them, most of the bungs have fallen out and not been replaced. One of our party fell from the SUP and got his finger caught in one of the holes, it got quite bruised and now the next day is very swollen and discolored, probably broken. Unfortunately he didn’t say anything at the time so we did not inform the shop when we returned to shore.

Bryce and the team were extremely accommodating - we completed the Introduction to Scuba Diving - Bryce was patient, kind and understanding and took his time to make sure my Daughter was comfortable before we set off on our dive.. Great Keppel is honestly the most beautiful place to snorkel, dive or just explore the beauty of our Country..

Thanks Keppel Dive team ❤️

What an afternoon! It was our first diving experience, and the whole team (Bryce, Matthias, Jane - hopefully we got the spelling right!) did an amazing job. It turned out that I was too afraid to dive, but my partner continued and had no regrets at all. The instructors were patient and super friendly, 10/10.

An awesome family owned dive shop in a beautiful part of the world! The diving here is so underrated so do yourself a favour and spend a few days exploring!

Can not recommend Keppel dive enough! Was an amazing afternoon, and our Instructor Bryce was incredibly patient for my first diving experience. Had an incredible dive seeing fish and coral in crystal blue waters. The rest of the staff were really informative and got all our gear ready seamlessly. We were lucky to get such a clear blue day.

Took my girlfriend for her first dive with Keppel Dive and the team did an outstanding job. Right from the first phone call to book everything was perfect. Huge thanks to Marty and his team. Pierre our instructor was excellent in terms of teaching skills and making her first dive a memorable one! Boat and equipment all excellent too.

Avery good operation in a magnificent location with beautiful people and awesome diving

This experience was the best day. I hope you get Tilly... she is next level incredible. We enjoyed the boat ride, the commentary and of course the snorkelling was the best ever. This island and this tour is unforgettable

I booked a Snorkel Tour and it was an amazing experience! The team is great and Isaac took some nice pictures:)

Good job Tilly! We decided to have an escape on a beach for the day. We were able to negotiate our wishes with quick, friendly, and good advice.
They were able to suggest a beach which would suit, and make it very easy to book and pin down a schedule.
Nothing was too much trouble.
She slowed down the boat to show us beaches, and dolphins, whilst giving us some lovely additional information.
Tilly is a passionate ‘boater’, whom we both found engaging and kind.
We had little involvement with other team members, but they were inspirited and cooperative, which of course is a wonderful.
Thank you for making it easy, and the kindness to make our day a wonderful one.

Awesome experience hiring kayaks for our day trip. Marty was really helpful with showing us where to go on the maps and working out which way the wind would carry us to make sure we didn't go too far and get stranded.

First time snorkellers Thank you to Tilly and the team. Such a smooth experience with everything provided and nothing to worry about. This was our daughters (9 & 14) first time snorkling and they loved it!

This was the best experience ever and really made our time on Great Keppel Island outstanding. The staff were super helpful and friendly and the diving trip was over and above our expectations! 100% recommend and will do again.

Supposedly all 5 star reviews which is hard to believe. The website says either book snorkeling gear or just hire it on the day. However if you get there on the 0830 ferry, you can't hire unless you've book until 1030. I understand that they want to make sure there is gear for people who have booked, but some simple maths and a heads up on the website would prevent the frustration.

One of the most awesome experiences we have had as a family of 6. It’s never easy with a big family to find activities that everyone can participate in at varying ages and abilities!! The crew from Keppel Dive pulled it off!! 6 Pisani’s scuba diving together!!! Thanks Richard and Team absolute legends. Time is the greatest gift we have as family and creating memories together is priority

Great team, very friendly and relaxed, the team let us clean and hang out kit up the day before the dive. Nice little dive shop on the island too. Dived with a small group on Outer Rock - covered in coral and fish (and even a couple of little epaulette sharks), such a cool dive! Sounds like they’ve got quite a few sites nearby so can accommodate for different conditions. Would recommend!

Just completed my PADI open water certificate with Keppel Dive. Richard was an amazing instructor and his team were all very engaging and helpful. Looking forward to doing a dive with them sometime soon.

Excellent family scuba & snorkel trip. Hire gear cannot be faulted. Dive crew gave extra attention to my newly qualified buddy. Even had a tame marine biologist on board.

Richard and his team makes the day out on the island worth spending, from scuba diving to a family snorkelling with us, thankyou.

Richard, Jack and Jimmy were great and really accommodating! Great scuba diving experience. Definitely worth the trip to Keppel Island. Some really big fish and turtles.

My partner and I had such a great time snorkelling. Our guide, Jack, was able to show us a mixture of corals and huge range of colourful reef fish. He was also full of useful and interesting facts about the reef.

Would definitely recommend for those enjoying the island.

Can’t recommend this place highly enough! Richard and the staff went above and beyond for us!
So professional, helpful and understanding, they taught us everything about scuba diving and made sure we had a great time!
Rate 11/10! We will be back!
Thanks again Richard ????????????????

I honestly can recommend this dive Center a 100%!! I was looking for a dive Center to do my PADI rescue and finallly I made it with them ???? ????????????. Very good vibes in this amazing island. And special mention for my stunning instructor who I did my course with. Lily is a professional dive instructor who is passionate about her profession. She made me feel so confident during the whole course even though is pretty hard.
I’m so glad I did this course with her.
Thanks so much ????????

Had the best day out on Keppel thanks to the local knowledge and water taxi service by Eamon and the crew at Keppel Dive! Wind was blowing a gale when we arrived and Eamon suggested the best secluded beach on the island which was totally sheltered and felt like we were on our own deserted island. We had a drop off and pick up boat service and Eamon was kind enough to provide lots of local knowledge and an ad hoc boat tour on the way home to show us the best parts of the island. Thank you guys!

Great fun We are keen snorkellers and needed to be dropped off around the bays and also picked up. The cost was great and the service also. Nothing was too much trouble and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone.

Great day out for all We hired a double kayak with snorkeling equipment and managed to see the majority of the island with our visit. The beaches are gorgeous, snorkeling is great and best burgers! Well worth a visit if you are in the area, the boat ride is not too rough either

They live how beautiful this island is This is a shout out to Eamon who made our last day great with his knowledge of the island and enthusiasm for the environment. We did a boat taxi drop off to butterfish Bay and walked back which was stunning. Also did a double dive with some amazing coral and abundant fish life. Only thing to note is, the boat gets pretty cramped if heaps of divers (so be patient) and bring your own lunch/snacks/water as nothing provided. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do it again in a heartbeat. Timmy and we’ll was a great dive guide. Thanks again

Snorkelling a must We hired snorkel gear at $15 pp a day. Staff friendly and told us best beaches and walks to do to get there. Have most water-sport activities and even rent beach umbrellas if needed. If not doing tours highly recommend to do snorkelling on your own. Best day ever.

Fun and friendly! We were able to easily hire gear and get transfers for a snorkelling trip around to Shelving Beach on a VERY busy day at the height of summer holidays. Despite the island being exceptionally busy and tech breakdowns the staff were very friendly, relaxed and helpful. Lots of different gear to hire.
