Plan this trip with AI →Setting out from Cairns, this welcoming liveaboard opens up the Outer Great Barrier Reef to divers and snorkelers alike — a sturdy, family-friendly boat that suits beginners just as easily as seasoned divers. Dive sites are chosen for their biodiversity and outstanding visibility, with a two-night, ten-dive itinerary that keeps you in the water and close to the reef.
Departures run daily except Tuesdays, visiting iconic sites such as Flynn, Milln, Thetford and Pellowe Reefs. Beneath the surface you might cross paths with barracuda, Napoleon fish and lionfish, along with whitetip and blacktip reef sharks — and, if you're lucky, dolphins. Night dives add another dimension to the experience.
Back on board, comfort comes in the form of air-conditioned staterooms and a spacious salon to relax in between dives. With rental equipment, a full range of courses and Nitrox available, it's a superb choice for everyone, from first-time divers to families exploring the reef together.
Morning departure from Cairns, followed by three daytime dives on the Great Barrier Reef and a night dive.
Four dives at selected outer reef sites, including an early morning dive, two daytime dives and a second night dive.
Three final morning dives before returning to Cairns in the afternoon and disembarkation.

★ 5 · Elodie Moreau · 2022-06-12I did the open water course with 3 days on the liveaboard and it was an incredible way to learn to dive. Michael was a super patient instructor and calmly got me through all the tasks in the course even though I was super anxious. In one week I went from being nervous in the deep end of a swimming pool to even doing the extra Adventure Course and doing a 30m dive and a night dive. Both things I never thought I could do. All the staff on the boat were lovely and heaps of fun. Casper cooked fantastic meals and the reef was even better than I expected. Definitely the best way to learn to dive and probably the best place in the world too.
