This full-day trip takes you from Townsville or Magnetic Island to the Central Section of the Great Barrier Reef, a region known for some of the most impressive dive sites in North Queensland.
Travel on a comfortable, purpose-built vessel with shaded areas, sun deck, toilet, shower and easy water access, making the journey relaxed and convenient for all divers.
You will visit one of Adrenalin Dive’s preferred reefs, such as John Brewer, Keeper or Lodestone Reef. Each site is chosen on the day for the best conditions, coral cover and marine life. These reefs offer everything from shallow coral gardens to deeper walls and bommies with trevally schools, colourful fish, turtles, rays and occasional white tip and black tip reef sharks. Depths range between one metre and twenty metres, which suits a range of certified divers.
During whale season, you may even see humpback whales passing through and putting on a show.
Tour includes morning tea, a buffet-style lunch, afternoon tea and access to iced water, cordial, tea and coffee. Snorkel equipment and full-length suits are provided, and crew members offer helpful reef ecology talks throughout the trip.
