Incredible from start to finish
We had the most amazing time! Everything was seamless — from pickup to drop-off. Our guide was entertaining and super informative.

Absolutely epic!
This was hands-down the best activity we did on our Queensland trip. The team were legends and the experience was world-class.

Really solid tour
We've used a few different tour companies in Australia and Dundee is one of the better ones. Professional, friendly, and fair pricing.

This was the highlight of our trip to Australia. Everything was perfectly organised and the guides were so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting!

It was alright
Expected a bit more based on the photos. The experience itself was fine but nothing extraordinary. Staff were nice enough. Probably wouldn't do it again.

Really enjoyable
My partner surprised me with this and it was a great gift. Unique experience and mostly everything went well. A couple of small delays but no big deal.

About OceanQuest 2-Night Liveaboard
Operated by Divers Den · 3 Days · Cairns, QLD
When just one day at the reef isn’t enough, an overnight trip from Cairns gives you all the time you need. Visit our colourful dive and snorkel sites during the day, and at night everything from the air conditioned cabins with en suites, lounge and bar, are designed for your comfort. Our three-deck, 35m catamaran is purpose built for a top class dive holiday, with a spacious dive deck, large open sundecks and hot, fresh water showers. All delicious meals are prepared by our onboard chef, including hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Enjoy a well-deserved dessert treat after your day in the water! Overnight (liveaboard) Great Barrier Reef trips from Cairns are truly a remarkable adventure. With more than 14 permanent moorings at Saxon and Norman reefs, and selected sites at Hastings Reef, snorkellers and divers of all levels can explore the reef and its diverse marine life from early morning to night. At night, relax in the lounge and bar. Or if you’re keen for more undersea adventures, try a unique night dive experience like Sharks in the Dark or Fluoro Diving to make your time on board our floating reef hotel truly unforgettable.
