Private Charter Snorkeling and Scuba Diving Tour Cairns

When you choose to book a luxury private charter boat for your day of scuba diving (maximum 8 guests) or an overnight live aboard (maximum 6 guests snorkelling or 4 guests scuba diving) scuba diving tour on the Great Barrier Reef to enjoy some diving and snorkelling in remote locations away from the tourist crowds, you should consider booking this luxury 47 foot purpose built game fishing boat that is based in Cairns Queensland Australia.

She will have you out diving on some of the most pristine reefs within an hour from leaving the Cairns Marlin Marina.

On board your scuba diving instructor is a fully qualified dive master and they will show you all of the trenches, underwater caves and swim thru’s on the very best diving locations of the Great Barrier Reef.

Only 4 divers will be permitted in the water at one time to ensure you all get to see and experience the wonderful places the dive master will be taking everyone to and also for safety reasons it is not advisable to have such a big group of 8 all diving with only one dive master.

If requested we will provide 2 dive instructors per regulations in your private charter boat quote and all diving equipment will be at hire rate which we will advise at time of booking your private charter boat tour.
