Detailed Trip Itinerary 2-day / 1-night Great Barrier Reef

Day 1: Cairns to Outer Reef. Passengers meet at the company office (Rum Runner – Marlin Marina, E finger, Berth 3) by 7.00 am for an approximate 7.30 am departure. Passengers are briefed as to the itinerary and safety aspects of the trip and boat, and the dive equipment is organized, making it ready for your arrival at the Reef. Passengers are welcome to join in, grab a line and hoist a sail alongside the crew.

From 11.00 am : Arrive at Thetford Reef. 3 dives and snorkelling sessions, 1 night dive. Arriving at Thetford Reef the crew will brief everyone on general dive safety and details of the first dive site. Diving will be tailored to suit individual experience levels with a buddy. If anyone is a bit rusty, one of the crew will be happy to accompany them on their first dive with their buddy for the first 20 minutes, before they explore as buddies. It is time for some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world; Sites include The Labyrinth, the Lagoon, Hurricane Bay, Coral Gardens; from shallow coral gardens, isolated pinnacles to caverns, swim throughs and spectacular walls.

Dinner is served as you watch the sun setting over the mountains behind Cairns. Guests can relax, have a few social drinks and get to know each other as the certified divers get ready for the night dive. Evenings are a relaxed affair, with just a chat and a few drinks on deck while at anchor in the calm water of the company’s protected night moorings. In calm clear weather, the stars over the Great Barrier Reef are an awesome sight.

Day 2 mornings : 2 dives and snorkel sessions are on offer. An invigorating morning dive and snorkel, before a hearty breakfast sees the start to a day of diving & exploring. Last dive includes swim-through’s and caverns, then a quick lunch break before heading off before noon.
