Scuba diving is the best way to truly immerse in the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef and Green Island is a great place for first time divers to experience the magic of scuba. Divers can experience exciting underwater adventures at our specially selected dive sites, a short boat trip offshore from Green Island. Swim through coral formations and see turtles, large rays, reef sharks, a variety of clams, corals and colourful fish species.
Dive Schedule
Sessions for introductory divers, certified divers and boat snorkel trips are scheduled daily. Visit the dive shop on the day for further information.
Scuba diving is the best way to see the reef and no experience is necessary to take a fully supervised introductory dive. Our professional and experienced PADI instructors will guide you through every aspect of your dive, allowing you to have a relaxed, enjoyable experience.
After your introductory dive briefing which takes about 30 minutes, you’ll gear-up and then start your dive experience in the island swimming pool for a skills practice session with your instructor.
Now you are ready for your dive adventure!
You’ll head down to the beach where you will board our dive tender for a short boat ride, about 7 minutes offshore, to experience scuba diving at one of our four Green Island dive sites.
If you already have a dive certification, we will provide you with all your scuba gear, and an experienced dive guide to ensure maximum enjoyment, safety and to guide you to the best sites.
Proof of certification is required C-card/Log book.
