What to expect
Expect a working dive day rather than a leisure boat trip. You'll motor out to South Solitary Island, kit up with your own certified gear, and drop twice into sanctuary waters where visibility and temperature beat most mainland sites. The mix of species—tropical arrivals drifting south alongside temperate locals—keeps the reef interesting. Between dives, settle in on deck with tea or coffee whilst crew restock tanks. Bring your certification card; there's no equipment hire, so arrive fully equipped.
Good to know
You must provide proof of SCUBA certification before boarding. Gear hire is not available—bring your own or arrange rental beforehand. Moderate fitness required; not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. The boat is wheelchair accessible throughout.
