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 😊
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 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
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.
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.
Thanks Keppel Dive team ❤️

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.



Would definitely recommend for those enjoying the island.
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’m so glad I did this course with her.
Thanks so much ????????











We ended up on the water for about 2 hours (paying for it now) but got to a few other beaches are the island which were amazing!
Must do if u love the water and wanna get some fitness in.

Highly recommend this business and services to all.
We loved our experiences with the wonderful and friendly team.

We loved snorkeling and been boated to areas we did not want to walk to.
