Scuba diving, either for the beginner or experienced diver is also available.  At the end of the day fly home in style, whilst viewing five amazing reef locations from the air!

"Scooters" are also available. The scooters are designed for snorkelers looking for a new and exciting experience on the reef. Moving at approx 8-10km/hr they make barely any noise and save the passenger’s energy levels, obviously resulting in a safe and pleasurable time in the ocean.  The hire fee for  the scooter is $25.00 per reef (1/2 day hire) which includes a slimline safety vest.
