Snorkelling Adventure Sunshine Coast

I Just Want To Snorkel
Not every one wants to dive and, to be honest, the Sunshine Coast offers excellent snorkelling. The only requirements for snorkelling is an ability to swim, fairly good fitness as it a strenuous activity, and the ability to laugh at yourself when you first don the gear and feel rather like a fish out of water.
All of our tours cater for small groups. We even take you to areas where you can walk straight in off the beach instead of jumping from a boat. Or if you are still a little apprehensive, we offer flotation devices designed to give you extra buoyancy, and all you have to do is kick and gaze.
If you have not snorkelled before, give it a go and you will be richly rewarded. Many of the sites on the Sunshine Coast are shallow enough that once kitted out and shown where to go, in no time at all you will find your self mesmerised by the beauty below you. The water is beautiful and you simply will not notice how long you have even been swimming. If you are a novice, let us know and we can provide training if required.
All of our trips include gear hire and light refreshments, and are structured to your abilities.

Night Dive Sunshine Coast Reefs, single dive

If you think Scuba Diving is exciting, try Scuba Diving at NIGHT. Scuba Dive with SHARKS, swim with turtles, it is quite an interesting and mysterious experience. Once you descend into the water at night and discover a whole new world, you will definitely want more. Night diving definitely changes the way we see marine life. At night the marine world appears to be more beautiful, colorful and mysterious. The experience and calmness of night diving cannot be compared with any other form of scuba diving. It is completely different. Dive slowly at night and you will find it exciting and relaxing at the same time. Many of the reef animals sleep during the day and only come out at night. For example, wide ranges of fish can be seen sleeping in small holes. Likewise, many different shrimp, lobsters and crabs show up at night. You can also be so lucky as to see sharks passing by at the end of your light. Thus, there is indeed a chance to discover new and exciting marine animals while diving at night. Night diving can be a breathtaking and fascinating act. So what is stopping you? Go on and try this adventure to get a new feel for scuba diving all over again. Even if you are not new to night diving, there is always more to discover. Every time we dive underwater at night, we can find something new to explore.

Snorkelling Adventure Tangalooma Wrecks, Moreton Island

The Moreton Island Wrecks
Who doesn't love shipwrecks? The rusting bones of old ship hulls waiting to be explored and admired with a sense of mystery, imaging what happened to them. The Moreton Island wrecks are a well-known landmark that you must not miss while visiting Moreton Island, as the splendid beauty of nature and mystery of history await discovery there.
The Moreton Island wrecks are also known as the Tangalooma Wrecks. Their history dates back to 1963, when a group of boat owners requested the construction of a man-made harbour just off the island. Fifteen vessels that were deliberately sunk to form a breakwall for small boats also creating an amazing snorkel site. Snorkelling at this site is an incredible adventure that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
One of the most attractive features of the Moreton Island wrecks is the variety of sea creatures that are found at the site. Splashes of darting colour liven up the shallow, sun-flecked water as colourful tropical fishes, Kingfish, yellowtail, and other inhabitants of the wrecks appear as if to evaluate the visitors each day brings. The wrecks are also home to sea urchins, coral reefs, and wobbegongs. Accustomed to human presence, the inhabitants of the wrecks do not shy away from snorkelers, meaning they stay virtually only inches away from visitors.
The depth of the dive site at the wrecks is between 2-12 m. The amazing visibility of the crystal-clear waters ensures a great view of the surroundings and the fishes when you are snorkelling.
Whether you are experienced or new to snorkelling, you would have the same amount of fun spending time at the wrecks. You will enjoy the experience of viewing an actual shipwreck when you visit the Moreton Island wrecks.
This tour includes return transfers to Moreton Island, lunch, light refreshments, hire of all snorkelling equipment required and flotation assistance if required.
Be sure to let us know of any special requirements or assistance required, child friendly snorkelling site.
