Tour Description
Guided dive around the coral reefs from the easy access beaches of Fitzroy Island in our unique fully submersible submarines. Ideal for those who think they may not like using traditional scuba equipment. Our subs allow you to experience all the thrills of diving without the worry of breathing through scuba gear. Better still you will be able to talk to both your companion and our expert pilot who will be telling you all about what you are seeing. Our safety diver accompanies the dive throughout to ensure the dive is smooth and safe.
The submarines and their mothership are based at the island and therefore you will need to get there. If you are a resort guest then you have or probably will arrange transfers with the resort at the time of booking your accommodation. If you are coming to the island for the day then this tour is a submarine dive and return ferry transfer to Fitzroy Island from Cairns on Raging Thunder's boat - Fitzroy Flyer. It leaves Cairns marina at 8.30am and arrives around 9.30am. It leaves the island at 4pm.
This tour is for those who do not wish to participate in any other 'paid' activity other than the submarine dive, leaving you a full day free to explore the island.
