Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef is a must do experience for anyone visiting Cairns! The Great Barrier Reef is home to rich marine life, stunning coral formations, tropical colourful schools of fish, warm waters and much, much more.
Introductory Dive
Although scuba diving is a little more complicated than snorkelling, it is not difficult to learn and you do not need to be an expert swimmer or have superior fitness. Our qualified Dive Instructors will walk you through how to use your diving equipment and what to do. The only requirements are that you are over 12 years old, pass the on board medical questionnaire and participate in our 30 minute dive brief.
Michaelmas Cay is the perfect dive site for first time divers – it is calm, gentle and protected. Your scuba diving lesson will start with a lesson in the shallows of Michaelmas Cay, and then when you are ready you will slowly submerge & discover the underwater magic of the reef with your instructor by your side.
Following your first scuba dive you will be rewarded with a certificate of recognition and memories to last a life time.
PRICE: $70 per person
