Spend a full day on two Great Barrier Reef sites from Cairns with scuba, snorkeling, meals, transfers, and wine for $184.
“Went diving as a certified diver, it was a great dive at the first site and there was extra time to go snorkelling after the dive. So much marine life to see and a huge variety of corals. The whole trip was well organised and nothing seemed rushed. Lunch was good, with a nice selection available. The second dive was a little disappointing with not as much to see, obviously this would be dependant on the marine life around at the time but the coral formations were also not as impressive. Overall though it was a great day out and well worth doing, the photos were a nice addition as…”

Try SCUBA on the Gold Coast with a PADI instructor, calm-water training, fish feeding, snorkeling, boat transfers, and 40 minutes underwater.
“We had never done scuba diving before, but the team made the process so easy! They guided us through the essential skills marvellously, and made sure we were all safe and comfortable to venture into deeper areas of water together. We spent about 40 minutes underwater continuously, exploring a rocky area with lots of different fish, a baby stingray, and stonefish. The rest of the time was spent getting to and from the diving spot, and practicing skills in the shallow water. Overall, we had a great experience and would strongly recommend this activity to everyone!!”
