Scuba Diving
Report
Scuba diving is very different to snorkelling, you can stay underwater for approximately 30 minutes and you are able observe the fascinating reef creatures in relaxed detail. Diving at the Great Barrier Reef - you can't get any closer. But most notably the reef fish will react to you more curiously as you are now below them because they feel less threatened.

With so much to experience some may wish to take life even easier and to cater for the lazy snorkeller, stay safe, comfortable and dry in the Glass Bottom Boat.
