— What You Can Expect —


Experience the Great Barrier Reef on a day trip from Cairns. Whether you’re a
snorkeller, first time diver or certified diver, you’ll spend a magical day
with Divers Den.


Discover the marine wonderland of the outer Great Barrier Reef, just a
90-minute boat trip from Cairns. We’ll spend five hours at the reef and visit
two stunning dive sites. These are expertly chosen from our exclusive moorings
on the Norman, Saxon and Hastings reefs to bring you the best quality
conditions and diverse marine life, from colourful corals to inquisitive
Nemos, turtles, stingrays and giant Maori Wrasse.


AquaQuest is our newest vessel and purpose-built for diving and snorkelling.
It has a spacious dive deck and a sunken platform offering easy access to the
water, plus state of the art equipment. Choose safe and enjoyable snorkelling
for you and your family, introductory diving with full pre-dive tuition, or
certified diving for a choice of three spectacular dives. Travelling with both
certified divers and keen snorkellers? No problem – you’ll share your journey
out on the reef together on the same vessel, and complete your dives/snorkel
experiences at the same dive sites.


During your Great Barrier Reef day trip, enjoy our large sun decks, air
conditioned indoor spaces and hot fresh water showers. After a morning spent
exploring the reef, enjoy a generous buffet lunch with a range of hot and cold
foods, salads, rolls and tropical fruit to refuel for the afternoon.


— Dive Sites —


Two sites on the outer Great Barrier Reef, the best options will be selected
based on the day's conditions to show the most colourful and diverse sights in
these warm, clear waters.
