Seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and submerge yourself in the crystal clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Our charming catamaran takes you to the most beautiful diving spots in the sheltered lagoons of Upolu Reef where a stunning marine world full of life is waiting to be discovered by you. Between pristine corals, certified divers have the chance to encounter turtles, different species of fish and if you're lucky even rays and sharks.
A maximum of 20 passengers aboard our vessel allows you to escape the crowds and enjoy personal service during your Great Barrier Reef diving trip. In addition to your guided dive, you also have the opportunity to join our guided snorkel tour with our dive professionals, explore the pristine waters and relax on the boat. As we use less than 60 litres of fuel per day, we are proud to offer you one of the most eco-friendly Great Barrier Reef boat tours.
