Great Barrier Reef Trip - Great Barrier Reef - Magnetic Island

Experience one of the seven wonders of the world – The Great Barrier Reef!

We’ll take you to the outer reef where you can swim, snorkel and dive in one of the most diverse eco systems in the world, with colourful hard and soft corals and awesome marine life.

Certified Divers
Due to the focus on conservation and the lower number of dive boats and tours operating from the Magnetic Island/Townsville region, we have access to some of the healthiest most pristine areas in the Great Barrier Reef.
We promise small groups and offer complimentary guides to all of our certified divers.
We offer quality rental equipment, including dive computers, 5mm full-length wetsuits or stinger suits and dive quality masks, snorkels and fins.

Introduction to Scuba Diving
Not certified?  Want to dive the barrier reef?  No problem!
Introductory dives are for beginners and require no previous experience.  It’s a great way to experience the Great Barrier Reef and try out scuba diving if you don’t have time to complete the learn to dive course.  One of our friendly  and experienced Instructors will take you step by step through the whole exciting experience.
