Throughout the day you'll visit three different locations which may include Thetford, Milln and Flynn Reef. Each stop showcases a different aspect of the beautiful Great Barrier Reef. At each site you have the choice to snorkel, dive or a combination of both.

Really enjoyed this day out. Great boat, staff and catering. Really loved the snorkelling. They provide a full body lycra suit which offers protection from stingers and much needed protection from the sun.
Spectacular, rad, superb

Anthony had an excellent fish brief helping us after we spotted different specifies to identify them. Isao our dive guide gave a thorough brief and made sure to top us off on oxygen so we could stay down under longer :)
