The absolute best way to see the Great Barrier Reef is to live there. See the stunning array of wild life waking up to an explosion of colour and activity. Dive and snorkel into the evening as daylight softly moves to dusk.
Be a part of the reef settling down for the night as the last rays of sunlight bathe Wheeler Reef’s beautiful coral cay. (Island)
The scene is set - two whole days of diving and snorkeling two of the wondrous pearls that go to make up the exquisite necklace that is the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy diving or snorkeling on some of the most pristine reefs within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Experience unlimited visibility at Wheeler Reef, the myriad of gullies and canyons at Keeper Reef or Davies Reef and then, Australia's best dive - The Yongala Wreck.
It's a dive experience you'll remember for the rest of your life!
One of diving’s Seven Wonders of the World….The SS YONGALA…… Over 100 meters of the most amazing Wreck and Wildlife experienced anywhere in the world. Voted: AUSTRALIA’S BEST DIVE
Why is she so raved about?She sank nearly 100 years ago during a cyclone in 28 metres of water. Being the only underwater structure for miles around, she attracts a vast array of wildlife including WHALES, SHARKS, MANTAS, SNAKES, TURTLES, to name just a few. Often wildlife found on the Yongala are much larger than the books state they grow. Fantastic!
Departing with a maximum of just 20 guests twice a week, we cruise through the night to arrive at our stunning Outer Reefs, in plenty of time for you to see the sun rise over the Great Barrier Reef.
