Submarine Dive and transfer to Fitzroy Island with Sunlover

Location(s):

Cairns, Great Barrier Reef, Cairns Beaches, Fitzroy Island.

Description:

Guided dive around the coral reefs from the easy access beaches of Fitzroy Island in our unique fully submersible submarines. Ideal for those who think they may not like using traditional scuba equipment. Our subs allow you to experience all the thrills of diving without the worry of breathing through scuba gear. Better still you will be able to talk to both your companion and our expert pilot who will be telling you all about what you are seeing. Our safety diver accompanies the dive throughout to ensure the dive is smooth and safe.

The submarines and their mothership are based at the island and therefore you will need to get there. If you are a resort guest then you have or probably will arrange transfers with the resort at the time of booking your accommodation. If you are coming to the island for the day then this tour is a submarine dive and return transfer to Fitzroy Island from Cairns on Sunlover's fast, large comfortable catamarran. It leaves Cairns marina at 9.30am and arrives around 10.15am. It leaves the island at 4.30pm. Complimentary tea/coffee are available on board. There is also a full bar and snack service.

This tour is for those who do not wish to participate in any other 'paid' activity on the island other than the submarine dive and prefer a later departure time from Cairns.
