My partner Eva and I have dived in many locations with a variety of operators. Hama and Lynnie are by far the friendliest, safest and most professional and fun dive operators we have ever dived with.

One of the best parts is that the boat is relatively small so you are diving in a small group and with only one other operator in the island, you have the reefs pretty much to yourself.

Hama chooses dive sites based on conditions, interests and the experience of the various divers on the boat.

As for dive sites, these come in great variety and having been both a tourist and a resident, I have completed about over 100 dives on Christmas Island. Every site I have dived and every dive has offered something unique, interesting and exciting.

As an underwater videographer my biggest problem when I arrive home is editing the enormous amount of excellent footage I have been able to shoot due to the fantastic visibility, variety of sites, fish and the quality and variety corals, both soft and hard.

During the dive interval hot drinks and Lynnie's wonderful muffins, cakes and pastries are a highlight, along with snorkellng with the GT's ( I am not going to elaborate on this as its something that you have to experience for yourself)

Dives are in the morning leaving you time to explore the wonderful jungle, bird life and marvelous crabs or just simply relax in the afternoon or snorkel or do a shore dive in Flying Fish Cove, one of the best house reefs you will find any where in the world.

Yes, it is a relatively expensive destination compared to some places in Asia and the Pacific, but even having holidayed twice and having lived on the island for a year, we definitely plan to return.

Hama and Lynnie are the best! Spent the week with them diving around Christmas Island, and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend to use Wet n Dry Adventures for your next diving holiday. Very experienced guides, excellent boat equipped for up to 6 divers, plus Lynnie will make you some amazing morning tea to really top off your diving experience. Had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back again. Thank-you!

Loved Christmas Island. and all the crabs, red, blue, and huge Robber. Take a 7 day tour, to see much more!!
Deep sea snorkel, then swim with massive Trevally.
Duty free alcohol and cigarettes, the only problem the Police have is drink driving!
Walk into secluded beaches. Wander thru National Park forests, crammed with all the crabs, sometimes a sea of red.
Watch the enormous Robber crab tear thru all the outer layers of a coconut to get to the luscious inner flesh. Watch those pincers!
The booby birds are everywhere, red footed, brown footed, frigate birds (Pirates of the sky), rare Abbots booby and many more.
Our accommodation was excellent, and we were very well looked after, with all meals included. VQ3 does not have a pool, but the Sunset hotel over the rd does have a pool which we enjoyed.
Although we are Australians, travelling to Christmas Island, we had to go through all the International rigmarole, with those forms being filled in!!

You guys are absolute legends!! Hama and Lynnie provided a gold class service aboard The Feral, setting up our equipment, changing over cylinders, taking us to a range of stunning dive sites and surface interval locations as well as providing plenty of laughs in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They had extensive knowledge about the marine life and ensured they took us to a wide range of dive locations to experience all that Christmas Island has to offer.

Wet ‘n’ Dry Adventures is by far the best company I’ve dived with and I cannot wait to come back and do it all again in the near future. Thanks Hama and Lynnie, for providing such epic dive experiences!

We spent 6 amazing days diving with Hama. I’ve never come across such a thorough, professional operation anywhere in the world. Each day was different and the vibe on the boat is fun and relaxed. Can’t recommend highly enough. Hama finds incredible marine life and shares so much knowledge. We’ll be back!
