4 FAQ
Available from -1 to -6 strength levels, the masks are available in return for $5 with a $50 deposit, refundable on return. Please ask our friendly staff to assist you.
Please inquire about other languages on the day of your departure should you require them as we reguarly have people who join our day team from all over the world.
If you just let the lifeguards or any member of staff know that your children are entertaining themselves while you are heading off for a dive; they will be happy to keep a close eye out.
We recommend taking ‘Travelcalm’ tablets prior to boarding the vessel. These can be purchased at the reception desk upon collecting your tickets or on-board the vessel
On the Moore Reef Tour you can expect to have approximately 4 hours to swim, snorkel and explore.
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.
