For Snorkellers; after a snorkel briefing on the cruise out to the reef you will each be given your mask snorkel and fins to use for the day.
For First Time Divers; after an in-depth briefing from our expert dive staff, we gear you up and jump in the water for the thrill of a lifetime as we guide you through this amazing wonderland.
For Certified Divers; either buddy up with a friend or join our guides as we push the limits and explore the amazing ecology of the reef.
You'll arrive at the first reef location at around 10am and you will have around two hours free time to snorkel or dive. After arriving at Hastings Reef at 1pm, you'll be briefed then loaded onto one of our state of the art helicopters for an unforgettable flight around the reef. Turtles, sharks and even whales can be spotted from up high and you get a feel for the awesome size of this amazing natural wonder.
In the afternoon there's a choice of a ride on our Semi Submersible tour,(extra $10 per person) more snorkelling or diving, or just laze around on our massive sun-deck.
