Choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry and explore the stunning reef from the comfort of a Quicksilver semi-sub, just one metre underwater. Watch the fish feeding from Quicksilver's unique underwater viewing platform and underwater observatory, or fly in a helicopter over the reef. Whichever way you choose, you'll bring home a lifetime of memories from this living natural wonder.

The following activities are OPTIONAL and not included in the Cruise fare: Also see 'INCLUDED' Activities

Snorkelling Expedition ...
Whether you are an experienced snorkeller or a novice, our Marine Biologists will introduce you to a new and exciting world during guided snorkelling tours. You will be part of a small group, guided by our experienced marine biologists who can reveal so much more about the magnificent marine life of this fragile eco-system.
Fare - $58 per person (equipment provided).
Note: The snorkel tour lasts for about 45 minutes in the water, and due to limited space on the vessel (that takes you away from the platform for guided snorkelling), buoyancy vests are not able to be taken on this tour. For this reason the age limit is 12 years old, and all participants must be confident swimmers.

Scuba Diving ... Introductory Diving (No prior experience necessary)
If you’ve never dived before, and would like to experience the magic of SCUBA, Quicksilver offers introductory dives with a highly qualified dive instructor. The only requirement is you are over 12 years, pass the on-board medical questionnaire and participate in our 30 minute dive brief.
Fare - $134 per diver (equipment provided)

Scuba Diving ... Certified Diving
Scuba diving right at the edge of Australia’s continental shelf is simply spectacular. At these unique ribbon reefs, visibility is excellent and the variety of marine life is exceptional.
1 Dive - $92 per diver (equipment provided)
2 Dives - $134 per diver (equipment provided)

Ocean Walker - Helmet Diving
Now as a non-swimmer, you can see the reef up close during a helmet “dive”. Breathing fresh air delivered from the surface into your helmet, you will walk underwater on a reef platform - you can even wear your glasses if you wish! Oceanwalker is suitable for anyone aged over 12 years and pass the on-board medical questionnaire. After a short briefing, you will be walking amongst the reef fish and corals.
Fare - $134 per person (equipment provided)
