- Experienced Tour Guide
Whether you prefer to dive, snorkel or relax on the deck you are sure to enjoy this tour. Certified scuba divers have time for up to 10 dives including two-night dives at the Great Barrier Reef and two dives at the Yongala shipwreck. You will experience the reef’s soft sunrises and stunning sunsets. Each morning you will see the reef explode with colour and activity and experience the calm of night on the water once the sun has gone down. Our experienced crew will select the best sites to visit on the day based on weather conditions.
Reef sites we visit:
- Peacock Bommie at Davies Reef
- Vic’s Patches on Keeper Reef or Fish Bowl
- The North Face of Wheeler’s Reef
- SS Yongala
The SS Yongala has been consistently voted Australia’s number one wreck dive and is home to big schools of giant trevally and cobia, eagle rays, moray eels, turtles and sea snakes. Be the first divers to descend on the wreck in the morning and witness giant trevallies, bull rays and Queensland gropers. There are also heaps of batfish, cod, bottle-nosed wedge fish and leopard sharks swimming amongst the wreck. Snorkelling and introductory scuba diving (subject to passing a dive medical questionnaire) can be done at the Great Barrier Reef but cannot be done at the Yongala shipwreck. Adventurous scuba divers will love exploring the Yongala shipwreck and its amazing array of marine life.
