Ocean Rafting

Set against the Whitsunday Islands of Australia, Ocean Rafting is a PADI Resort dive centre built around a fleet of four distinctive vessels. These 11 metre semi-rigid inflatables were originally designed and built as rescue crafts and are driven by 500hp engines, giving them the pace and stability to reach the islands with ease.

What sets it apart

Each vessel carries a maximum of 28 passengers, so small groups get to experience this tropical paradise away from the crowds. Around 70% of every boat is shaded, offering welcome comfort from the tropical sun, while a Skipper and Eco Host look after personalised service throughout the day.

Ocean Rafting suits divers who like their adventure hands-on and their groups intimate. Alongside PADI scuba diving, the experience runs from a courtesy bus pick-up in the morning to snorkel lessons and a guided National Park walk in the Whitsunday Islands — a full day of fun for anyone keen to explore both above and below the water.
