Personalised Open Water Course

3 Days with 8 Day Dives

Multi - Share 3 Berth Cabin          $727.00

Stateroom for 2 people                $855.00

This 35 metre luxury catamaran offers an outstanding base from which to experience the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef

Facilities onboard the fully air - conditioned Vessell are second to none.

Our hydraulic dive /snorkel platform makes diving and snorkelling a breeze. In fact , Reef Encounter is large enough to provide all the comforts of a larger cruise ship, yet small enough to enable access to spectacular reef locations.

Forget the traditional 5 day courses with swimming pools and classrooms. Now you can learn by experience under the watchful eye of your instructor with only 3 other students.

This program offers more guided dives than both the Open water and Advanced course combined - with 8 pleasure dives and 6 skills sessions over a 3 day / 2 night stay on Reef Encounter
