Cairns Dive Tours Experience the Great Barrier Reef

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the most significant living thing on our planet, and scuba diving is by far the best way to explore the reef.

So what is the best way for you to explore the Reef?

If you have time, we certainly recommend getting the best out of the reef and staying for one or two nights on our liveaboard vessel.

Small numbers give a great advantage and allow you to have an amazing marine life that lives on the Great Barrier Reef.

Between 1500-2000 species of fish live on the Great Barrier Reef so there is a lot of great fish to see, and they come in more colours than you can imagine.

Cairns dive tours offer you the enjoyable experience of seeing the reef at its best our local sites include caves and swim-throughs. Wall dives and boat dives.

You will see the difference that green reefs to protecting the coral with bigger fish and more abundance of marine life.

 

Cairns is the gateway to this spectacular underwater world.
