As long as you’re comfortable in the water, you should be able to snorkel or even do an intro dive. Before you enter the water you will fill out a form that includes information on your level of competence in the water and any medical conditions. Depending on your response, you may be required to use a flotation device while snorkelling.

All day trips visit the Outer Great Barrier Reef. The outer reefs are the sections furthest from the coast.

These reefs have fewer crowds and benefit from flowing nutrients distributed by the vast Coral Sea. Here, good climate conditions and clear water bring out the best in the coral colours and the incredibly diverse marine life.

With more than 27 sites to choose from, the Operator has the most choice of outer reef locations of all the local operators. On a day trip, you will visit two sites per day, based on weather and visibility conditions, to ensure you have the best possible dive or snorkel experience.

The vessel is a large catamaran, which offers greater stability and a smoother ride than monohull vessels.

If you are prone to motion sickness, it's recommended to take advantage of the natural ginger tablets available onboard for no extra cost. There is also Travacalm travel sickness tablets available for purchase on board.

There is no maximum age on board Tusa Reef Tours, and if you are fit and healthy to dive, please join. For guests over the age of 65, a current dive medical is requested for your own safety and for our duty of care.

The minimum age on board is 12 years. All guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times, including when diving or snorkelling. 

It is strongly recommend to have travel insurance to cover you if your snorkel or dive trip is cancelled due to illness, poor weather, travel delays, lost luggage and legal costs. Travel insurance may not cover diving accidents and/or treatment/evacuation. For that we recommend separate Dive insurance.
