Very poor experience - Not good. I know you can’t predict the weather, but surely, when it’s that bad- you shouldn’t allow this trip to go ahead. The journey to outer reef took 1 hr 20 mins of atrocious weather conditions resulting in more than half the customers vomiting! I know people can get sea sick, but that was ridiculous! I think ‘selling’ anti sickness tablets on the boat is wrong (these should be free!): horrendous journey! When we got to the pontoon, the weather contains continued… I certainly didn’t feel safe to snorkel! Some people went in… but the current was extremely strong. We had booked a helicopter ride… and to explain the bad weather to you… the helicopter ride was cancelled! That’s how bad it was. Lunch was really nice - however this was spoiled by people stripping off out of their ‘Lycra’ suit and drying themselves whilst I was eating lunch! One man was drying his genital area in front of me whilst eating my lunch. PLEASE! As a company- you should ensure people can eat without this display of personal hygiene when eating g food! There were changing rooms away from ‘eating area’ so this should be enforced. It was quite off putting eating my lunch. I went on the ‘semi sub’ which was a sort of a boat with glass windows underneath the surface to sea the coral - couldn’t see anything - the water was churned up by the weather - it rocked that much that people were throwing up in there to! Terrible experience: so, no snorkelling, no helicopter ride, no visualising coral, people stripping off and drying themselves whilst eating lunch (including their private parts) - it’s a no from me…. I did speak to two of the quicksilver staff and got a poor response…. Ie ‘sorry about that’ and ‘people do suffer with sea sickness’ - yes, but not to the extent I seen! Staff were running back and forth with vomit bags!!! I have had a partial refund from the cancelled helicopter ride - but the whole trip should have been cancelled!
