We discover a different reef each day, chosen by the captain after considering weather conditions, seasonality and water clarity. This ensures that you are visiting the best possible reef available on that day. Unlimited snorkelling is included, or you can upgrade to dive the reef*. Certified divers can enjoy up to four daytime dives and one night dive – an extremely special way to see the Great Barrier Reef. Never dived before? No worries, beginner dive upgrades are available for travellers who have no diving experience.
