If intending to take part in diving all divers (whether certified or introductory diver) will be required to fill out a diving medical questionnaire on board. If diving is an important option for you, please advise if you have any medical issues (past or present) or taking any medications so we can advise if any QLD diving medical clearance is required.

This was an EXCELLENT tour that catered to every level of skill and experience. The food and snacks were generous, everything was safe and well organized, and we saw lots of amazing creatures, from sea turtles, reef sharks, rays, jellyfish, giant clams, many different types of fish and lots of coral! The staff were so kind and great at pointing things out to us in the water. Highly recommend!

Excellent crew and dive boat. Throughly enjoyed my two certified dives and so glad I was able to check diving on the Great Barrier Reef off my bucket list.

Great trip. The boat was very comfortable compared to usual dive boats. Crew was genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. Was not a rushed dive and made sure we were comfortable with the pace.
