Taking only 60 passengers, she is fully equipped with the most modern and state-of-the-art facilities including Nitrox. In other words, passengers receive unrivalled comfort with the best experience available as we visit some of the best dive and snorkel locations on the Outer Great Barrier Normal, Saxon and Hastings Reefs
We have a choice of nine different dive sites, we visit two different locations daily and provide the opportunity for up to three dives per day.

AquaQuest and its sister vessels in Cairns (Sea Quest, and Ocean Quest) have a proud association with Project AWARE, a global non-profit movement of scuba divers focusing on marine conservation. Some of the money you pay goes to make a regular donation that helps protect our oceans.
