About
Christmas Island WetnDry Adventures is a small, eco friendly, scuba and snorkelling family business with more than 20 years experience in Christmas Island waters. We love to spoil our divers, which is why our boat takes maximum six divers. This allows us to ensure our service is personal and reduces our impact on the environment.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I cannot imagine better diving experiences than the ones we had with Hama and Lin.
The small group, individual attention, care and comfort and eye for tiny details gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy to the maximum the incredible colours, marine life from minuscule (endemic shrimp ) to enormous ( whale shark) and astounding rock and coral formations.
Their knowledge of the sites and the conditions and their flexibility to work with and around the vagaries of the weather (ie cyclonic in January) ensured we had optimum exposure to the wonderful sights in crystal clear water.

My partner and I did 10 dives with Wet n Dry over a week. Hama and Lin's small group trips on their fast and comfortable, purpose equipped dive boat got us to the dive sites quickly with plenty of room to gear up. We appreciated the complete service including managing and setting up all gear, heavy lifting of tanks and weight belts and washing equipment between dives. Safety briefs, guidance, dive site selection and knowledge were all top notch as were Lin's home made muffins. The package deal was great value including lunch delivered to our accommodation, post dive. The diving itself was outstanding with incredible diversity and visibility. Mantas, eagle rays, sharks including a hammerhead were spotted, along with incredible drop-offs and so much more. Highly recommended - can't wait to go back!

Hama, the owner, came to our accommodation to meet/greet us and complete the formalities/experience/equipment/etc. sorted for our dive adventures in Christmas Island. Although we had a car, he arranged for Lynnie to pick us up on the first day. Everything was very well organised and he launches the boat and picks you up from the pier/jetty. The furthest dive site was about 20+? mins, but it depends on the weather/currents as to where he will dive. Hama gave excellent dive briefings and was a great guide knowing all the "secret" places some critters hide, we even saw several "rare" fish (he writes on his magic slate). The diving consisted of numerous hard coral reefs and several dive sites with beautiful "swim throughs". Surface interval consisted of hot drinks and Lynnie's most amazing baking; muffins/cakes/brownies which are absolutely to die for. In for another dive and back to the shore. Our Travel Agent, Sue Warner in Perth made our arrangements and it included a lunch box delivery which was excellent and prevented us from roaming around trying to find somewhere open. I would highly recommend Hama and Lynnie for diving in Christmas Island (or even a snorkel trip for a taste of those amazing muffins!)..

With just 6 divers on a small boat, everything done for us - gear set up & washing, tank changes between dives - the two weeks our group spent diving with Wet'n'Dry was just so enjoyable. Different sites smothered in coral every day, alternately guided by Hama and Lynny with just the caves we asked to go back to on our last dive duplicated. All dives had great viz, minimal current and 'boat comes to you' pickups making it all that much easier. Hama ran a tight ship with a place for everything, absolute professionalism in the way things were done and responsible and safe diving practices. Add to all that Lynny's freshly baked morning teas between dives and the genuine friendliness of all three involved, Hama, Lynny and Lin we couldn't have asked for a better time.

I knew from the speed of response to my internet enquiry about diving with Hama that it was going to be a brilliant experience. Hama and Lynney leave nothing to chance and are the most efficient operators imaginable. Both have outstanding knowledge about diving, the marine environment and Christmas Island in general, and are prepared to share this. At no time did I feel like I was just another customer.The whole experience was personalised, from the way Hama deals with your equipment, down to the choice of dive sites dependent on the level of experience of clients. He also ensures that you don't do the same dive twice wherever possible. Each day was different and Hama and Lynney were very flexible and prepared to tailor the day to the requirements of each particular group. Diving was brilliant and completely safe. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Diving with Hama and Linnie was an absolute pleasure. They are both very experienced and professional. We dived for three days on some very spectacular sites with water visibility sometimes over 30 metres! Hama skippered the boat whilst Linnie guided the dives. Some of the boat launches were a little tricky due to surge on the boat ramps but Hama and Linnie performed the launches without fuss as if it was second nature to them. Their humour, easy going nature and competence inspires trust so you can enjoy the dives knowing you are in good hands.
A great Lunch was also provided each day and Linnies muffins were delicious.
Highly recommended.

A Marvellous experience. Arrived at Christmas Island on a nice August afternoon, waiting for us at the airport was none other than Hama himself who is the skipper of the Dive Boat “Feral”. Helped with the bags and we drove to the lodge. Hama provided bins to store out equipment and a Tag without our names. Now, its next morning at 7:30 AM we saw Hama drive by with the Boat trailing behind signalling an exciting WetnDry adventure. We met at the Flying Fish Cove Jetty without out BCD, Tanks and equipment already on the Boat. We met Lynnie and Anna who will be out dive guides in addition to Hama as they alternate days. Got the motor running, heading on the high waves, looking for adventure and whatever comes our way under the water. Two dive sites per trip and a snorkelling site or cave discovery. Perpendicular Wall (WOW), Thunder Cave, Rhoda Wall, Pool Side, Coral Gardens, Eidswold Wreck, Fuel Buoy 1 & 2 etc. Each site had its own magic and beauty. After each dive we are treated to a lovely muffin, coffee, tea, milo and Oreo cookies and some lollies. A snorkel with Giant Trevally fish or a cave adventure and a second dive. Back to the Jetty by midday for a surprise lunch. Hama also provided us with Tanks for shore dives and night dives. The afternoon was Trekking around the Island many attractions and beaches such as the magical “The Dales” Point, Ethel Beach, Lily Beach, the Grotto, Blowholes and others. At night we try the various restaurants or a barbecue under the lovely sunsets and stars. The whole trip was amazing and WetnDry made it very special. On the last day we visited the WetnDry dive shop, picked a few souvenirs and stamped out dive logs. Again, Hama assisted us with the luggage and drove us to the Airport for our departure from Paradise Christmas Island. Note, Lots of Santas little helpers (Red Crabs) but no Santa.

Expect a fun, relaxed and safe dive with Hama and Lynney. They are incredibly experienced and welcoming. I hired a BCD, reg and weight belt through Hama and the gear was perfect. I highly recommend using WetnDry for your diving needs!!
