Features
- Snorkelling: Visit spectacular Norman Reef at the very edge of the
Great Barrier Reef and spend a leisurely five hours at play amongst the colourful
coral and marine life. All your snorkelling gear is provided. So there is nothing
to hold you back!
- Introductory Diving: Discover scuba diving. Diving
is for everyone... including those who have never dived before. While snorkelling
allows you to view fish and coral from above the reef, diving allows you to experience
the underwater world close up, explore the coral and swimming with the fish. If
this is your only chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, make sure you experience
all you can by diving it. We have been taking people to the reef for over 18 years
and all Dive Instructors are professionally qualified PADI Instructors. There
is still plenty of time to enjoy all other activities on board with family and
friends. Please note a medical form must be completed on board.
- Certified
Diving: Certified divers can enjoy up to two dives, with introductory divers
able to do a second dive if they choose. Snorkellers can explore spectacular coral
formations and underwater gardens teeming with vibrantly coloured marine creatures.
The locations vary with the conditions, however each site is chosen for visual
impact, ecological diversity and the challenge of discovery.
