3 Day 2 Night Liveaboard Dive Trip
The best way to really experience the Great Barrier Reef is to stay out there for a few days. This gives you much more time to really enjoy the reef in a more relaxed environment. The amount of diving and snorkeling you'll get to do as well as the opportunity to do night dives, combined with two nights accommodation, makes this live aboard adventure unmatched for experience and value. Our three premium dive boats provide you with fully air conditioned, comfortable and spacious living conditions. Accommodation on board our dive vessels is all double or twin-share at no extra cost. You’ll have the opportunity to do 11 dives — 9 day dives and 2 night dives — as well as lots of snorkeling. On every trip we visit a large variety of our 16 exclusive sites. These sites provide some of the best outer reef diving available and have been selected for their variety and quality of coral and marine life, as well as great visibility. We rarely dive the same site more than twice. Trips depart everyday except Tuesdays! continue...
