The Tour
AquaQuest is a brand new custom built luxury dive and snorkel vessel being introduced to Port Douglas in July 2017. She is fully equipped with the most modern and state of the art facilities including Nitrox. As the newest vessel in Port Douglas she will give passengers an unrivalled comfort with the best experience available as they visit some of the best dive and snorkel locations on the Outer Great Barrier Reef at Agincourt, Opal and St Crispin's Reefs.
These reefs are located in the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and are approximately 62km offshore. They have 9 exclusive mooring sites they can visit on the Great Barrier Reef at Agincourt, St Crispins and Opal reefs. They use a wide variety of these to ensure a minimal environmental impact to the pristine coral formations they visit. Their dive sites are frequented by myriads of tropical and Palegic Fish, Rays, Turtles, (friendly) Sharks and the ever popular diver friendly Maori Wrasse. There are swim throughs, wall and drift dives that will appeal to every level of diver experience. The dive sites are chosen on a daily basis by the vessel Captains for the best variety and visibility according to the weather conditions.
Snorkelling is the easiest way to discover the Great Barrier Reef, it is as simple as breathing. If you have never snorkelled before, don't worry, a briefing is held on board, explaining how to put and use the snorkelling gear. All of the snorkelling equipment you will require is supplied as part of your trip, including a wetsuit or stinger suit. Prescription masks are also available upon request.
The reef being just a few meters away from the waters surface, you will be able to explore all these wonders just by floating at the surface. Relax, breathe in your snorkel and be ready to discover a multitude of fishes, corals and other wildlife populating the reef.
They offer a light Morning Tea, Hot and cold tropical buffet lunch selection with fresh prawns, salads and fruits and complimentary tea, coffee and chilled water are available throughout the day. Snacks, soft and alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase on board
