Scuba diving is not for everyone, but don’t despair – snorkelling is super fun as well! The Great Barrier Reef and Michaelmas Cay in particular, offer excellent snorkelling with a vast range of aquatic & coral life!  It is a fact that 90% of the reef’s diversity occurs in the top 4m of water, so you can see most things you would want to see by snorkelling.

You don’t need any complicated equipment for snorkelling, just a well-fitting mask, a snorkel and fins – all of which we supply to you free of charge.  When you first get into your snorkelling gear, you are sure to have a giggle at yourself and feel a bit out of place but rest assured our qualified staff will be able to show you the basics of snorkelling before you slowly walk off sandy Michaelmas Cay into the water!

Michaelmas Cay is recognized as one of the top dive sites on the reef offering safe, family friendly snorkelling in shallow, calm water.  As most areas are quite shallow you can snorkel and stop for a rest when you need to – if you would prefer to wear a safety buoyancy vest while snorkelling, we offer this completely free of charge.  With a buoyancy vest, all you have to do is kick and enjoy the amazing views in front of your eyes.
