After a quick check in at the Reef Fleet terminal your reef adventure begins with tea/coffee and muffins before seting off in the fast modern high-speed catamaran. After a safety briefing, the friendly staff will spend the journey to the reef teaching you snorkeling techniques and educating you about the Great Barrier Reef. The dive briefing will also take place during the journey. All divers are welcome as well as those just a little bit curious to join in on this brief. Before arriving at the reef your crew will organise your snorkeling and diving equipment for you. Wetsuits are available to hire at an additional charge.
As soon as you arrive at the first location THE POOL IS OPEN!
