SNORKELLING CAIRNS

Picture yourself snorkelling over magical reef gardens where the coral is pristine and the water is stunningly clear!!

Tusa Dive have a selection of 16 unique dive and snorkel locations for you to explore. While the divers explore the walls and depths, you’ll be gliding over the reef tops, mesmerised by the vivid colours of the fish as they dart in and out of the corals and anemones.

You’ll be provided with top ‘diver’ quality masks and snorkels, booties and fins.  Wetsuits, and/or lycra suits are provide for all, depending on the season, and for those who like a little extra buoyancy in the water, our ‘noodles’ will help to keep you safely above the coral.

The snorkelling is straight off the back of the T5, with the reef never more than a short swim away.  The crew will give you a thorough brief before you enter the water, and a little instruction about snorkelling for first-timers.  A dedicated crew member will be in the water for any that like a little extra assistance, and a Free Guided Snorkel tour with one of our professional divemasters will be offered in the day.
