ARISTOCAT Outer Reef Snorkel and Scuba
Location(s):
Great Barrier Reef.
Description:
Pristine, unspoilt, teaming with fish and coral life for you to explore. Immerse yourself in this ancient seascape and discover the exotic diversity and beauty of life under the Coral Sea.
The best way to explore and enjoy a coral reef is to be in the water snorkelling or scuba diving. Gaze upon the awe inspiring work of the architects of the Reef…the coral polyps, creators of the largest living structure on Earth – The Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest collection of coral reefs.
ARISTOCAT specialises in day tour cruises to wilderness reef habitats on the beautiful Agincourt Ribbon Reefs of the Outer Great Barrier Reef, visiting 3 reef sites daily.
We take you to the reef habitats in style, comfort & safety. With over 40 sites on 16 reefs to choose from including the renowned Agincourt Ribbon Reef system, we provide interactive snorkelling and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef second to none. A bonus activity during June - September is Whale Watching as they migrate past the reef.
Aristocat caters for snorkellers and divers alike. Qualified 'Certified' divers can enjoy up to 3 escorted dives. Scuba is also available for guests with no previous experience through 'Introductory Dives'. (all diving at additional cost) Guests are escorted by our highly qualified Dive Instructors and can do up to 3 Introductory Dives on the spectacular reefs.
Join us aboard the all new ARISTOCAT V, launched in 2006. This luxury vessel offers superb interior décor coupled with the first Australian commercial installation of a new generation of MTU engines – the 10V 2000 M 72 – powerful yet environmentally responsible.
