Guided snorkel tour with a marine biology expert
Marine Biology Expert Guide
Max 8 Guests
Blue Groupers & Cuttlefish
Immerse yourself in one of the world's most biodiverse coastal environments with a dedicated marine biology expert. This isn't just a snorkel, it's an interactive experience where you'll learn about the ecosystem in real time and have all your ocean questions answered by a professional guide. The ocean is much more exciting when you actually know what you're looking at.
You'll have a chance of meeting our iconic eastern blue groupers, cuttlefish, and friendly sharks and rays in their natural habitat. Since these are wild animals in an open ocean environment, every trip brings a brand new adventure and you never know what marine life might decide to make an appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our courses, scheduling, prerequisites, and gear.
How do I book this tour?
Pick a date on the booking widget, complete the form, and you'll receive a confirmation email.
What's included in the price?
All snorkelling equipment — mask, snorkel, fins, and a life ring if needed — plus your marine biology guide. Just bring your swimwear and a towel.
Do I need experience or certification?
No certification needed, but you must be a confident, moderate-level swimmer in open water. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
What if conditions aren't safe?
We monitor conditions daily. If the tour can't go ahead safely, we'll reschedule at no cost.
What if I need to reschedule?
Rescheduling is free as long as it's more than 72 hours before your tour. Inside 72 hours there's a $50 transfer fee.
What might we see?
Sightings vary since these are wild animals — past trips have included eastern blue groupers, cuttlefish, sharks and rays, but nothing is guaranteed.
I want to do this privately, or with just my friends — can that be done?
Yes! We run private dives and tours for individuals and groups when the scheduled dates don't line up with your availability. Get in touch and we'll arrange one for you.
Where will we dive?
This depends on the conditions on the day. We always pick the best and safest site for the swell, wind and visibility at the time, and we'll confirm where we're heading on the morning.
Can a friend or partner join for the day if they're not diving?
They're very welcome to meet us at the dive site, but unfortunately we don't have a spare seat in the vehicle for them.
Where should we park?
Ocean Street North is your best bet — free parking all day, a short walk from the dive centre. From there you can either come with us to the dive site or take your own car.
Can I use my own vehicle?
Definitely. Meet us at the dive centre to get fitted for your equipment — we'll transport it to the site and back for you. If you drive yourself you can head off straight from the dive site instead of coming back to the centre for the clean-up.
Should I come earlier to try on the equipment?
No need. The start time is the time we want you at the dive centre — fitting your equipment is already built into it.
I don't have a dive buddy — is that okay?
Absolutely. We'll pair you with another diver in the group or with the instructor running the session. Coming on your own is completely normal here.
I don't have any equipment — can I still join?
Yes. We have a big range of scuba equipment available for you to use.
