All we ask is that you complete a very basic medical questionnaire, make sure you are fit to dive and away we go!
Seawalker Helmet Diving is also an option for those that don’t swim and is available on both our Moore and Arlington pontoons. A scenic helicopter flight is also a fantastic way to see The Great Barrier Reef without getting your feet wet.
Beyond that, you could try a Guided Snorkelling Tour with one of our experienced Marine Biologists or Reef Naturalists; they have a large floating life ring and can guide you amongst the coral reefs, while offering 100% safety, regardless of swimming ability.
