Tusa Dive
1 Day Cairns Great Barrier Reef Tour
Departs: 8.00AM - Daily Returns: 4.30PM Departures from Marlin Marina "A" Finger Cairns
Dive and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef amongst abundant coral gardens on the edge of the continental shelf.
Getting away from the crowds is what this tour is all about, and you will be one of only sixty guests on board a modern 24-metre catamaran.
Each day you will visit the best two sites for the day's conditions, selected from a choice of 16 unique outer reef locations. Certified divers and snorkelers alike are catered to, and if you are not licensed to dive, you can also choose to take an ‘Intro’ dive in an underwater wonderland, with an experienced Instructor by your side.
For snorkelers, a dedicated snorkel guide will teach you the best techniques for gliding over the reef, and show you how to use the snorkelling gear. Divers can choose 2 or 3 dives in their day, exploring a range of seascapes including coral gardens, caverns, walls and isolated pinnacles.
TUSA Dive has been operating day tours to the Great Barrier Reef for 30 years. Their superior knowledge, personalised friendly service, and quality vessels, will ensure your day on the reef is safe, enjoyable and the experience of a lifetime.
TUSA Dive is an Advanced Ecotourism Operator, committed to sustainable practises and protecting our Great Barrier Reef.
