    Diving: All divers must complete a Queensland Medical Questionnaire on board. Certified divers must show an internationally recognised scuba card.

In our commitment to the safety of our guests, divers over 65 years (or 45 years for PADI dive courses) must have medical clearance from a physician who confirms they are Fit To Dive. This can be provided by your own GP before you leave for your holiday.

    Please be aware that certain medical conditions (e.g. asthma, heart disease, diabetes) and ANY prescription medications will require a letter or email from a doctor clearing you to dive. This clearance must state your full name, the doctor's name and practice and the clearance to dive for the specific medications/condition.

    Please review our Dive Course Medical Questionnaire and Terms & Conditions before travel. Scuba diving can be strenuous under certain conditions. Your respiratory and circulatory systems must be in good health. All body spaces must be normal and healthy. Please review our Introductory and Certified Diver Medical Declaration prior to travel. In the interests of safety, we recommend no flying within 24 hours of the last dive (helicopter flights are ok). You will not be allowed to dive until you are declared medically fit to dive. For advice, please contact our office directly. Optional extras: Introductory or certified dives, snorkelling tour with our marine biologist, return transfers and wetsuits.
Cruise in style aboard the luxury superyacht Evolution for an unforgettable Outer Great Barrier Reef adventure from Cairns.

Enjoy over five hours of reef time across two exclusive reef sites, giving you the perfect balance of snorkelling, relaxation, and scenic indulgence. Discover vibrant coral gardens and marine life as you snorkel the reef, or take your experience to the next level with an Introductory or Certified Scuba Dive.

Between dives, unwind on one of Evolution’s three spacious decks, soaking up the tropical sun in comfort and style. Then, take your adventure sky-high with an exclusive scenic helicopter flight from the reef pontoon at Hastings Reef.

Witness breathtaking aerial views of the coral formations and turquoise lagoons that make the Great Barrier Reef one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders. Keep an eye out for turtles, manta rays, and—during winter—migrating whales.

After landing, enjoy one last snorkel or relax onboard with a complimentary glass of wine and snacks as you cruise back to Cairns. This tour combines the best of both worlds — the serenity of the sea and the thrill of the sky — for an experience you’ll never forget.
