Want to go deeper than your snorkel will allow? Learn the basic skills required to dive to a depth of up to 12 metres on the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program. An experienced PADI-qualified instructor will take your small group of 4 on a 20-minute dive, making sure you have time to get comfortable in the waters around the Great Barrier Reef. It's one of the best places in the world to learn, and it doesn't matter if you've never dived before – this is great for beginners. Lycra suits are included free of charge. Wet Suits are available for hire at $10 per person.

Already a certified diver? Tank up for up to 3 dives as part of your 5 hours at the Great Barrier Reef. Each certified scuba dive lasts up to 40 minutes, at a depth of up to 18 metres. Trust the experienced, environmentally conscious PADI-qualified divemasters to help you find and interact with the reef's most bewitching marine life. All snorkel and scuba equipment is provided on the day, but you can bring your own equipment if you have it with you.

  • Relax onboard a 35-metre luxury superyacht for the day, as you cruise from Cairns to two exclusive outer Great Barrier Reef sites
  • Jump in the water and snorkel around an underwater world full of multicoloured fish, coral, and other marine life – all equipment included
  • Enjoy a full BBQ lunch on deck, with fish, prawns, steaks, salads and more!

There's no better way to see the world's most famous reef than from the water! This full-day tour takes you out into the crystal blue magic of the Great Barrier Reef, where you'll spend a sunny five hours in two unique outer reef locations, teeming with ocean life to explore.

Snorkel and swim – there are so many fish, you won't believe your eyes. Or just relax on the loungers of the 35-metre luxury superyacht. Then it's time for a BBQ lunch on the deck with fresh fish, prawns, steak, veggie options and fresh salads to refuel you. A glass of wine is included, and the bar is always open for more.

Note: Admin/fuel levy of AU$20 per person to be paid on board.
