Tusa Dive operates Wednesday to Sunday

Tusa Dive is one of the premium day dive trips to the Great Barrier Reef. One price for either snorkeller or diver onboard! Departing daily from Cairns, the MV Tusa T6 is the newest edition to the company and is an ultra-modern, custom-built 24.5-metre “state-of-the-art” dive vessel. Special features include hydraulically lowered water level platforms, a huge dive deck, and internal and external lounge-style seating throughout. Also has 2 x Fresh Water Showers and 3 x Toilets.

Tusa Dive visits two spectacular dive sites from 21 moorings scattered across the 16 outer reef sites. Travel time to the outer reef and the day’s first location is approx 90 minutes. New sites are visited daily for divers joining Tusa for two or more days. In addition, special packages are available for divers travelling for a minimum of three days.

Passenger numbers are limited to just 40 to ensure space, comfort and a feeling of exclusivity. Crew-to-passenger ratios average 1:4. As a consequence this provides not only greater safety but also a more personalized day with greater interaction.

Nearly 5 hours at the reef leaves plenty of time for both diving and snorkelling.

Indulge in Exquisite Chef-Prepared Meals with local produce, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea.

Enjoy a Wide Range of Beverages, including alcoholic Drinks on the Return Journey.

A buffet-style lunch is provided on board and there is plenty of time to relax and watch the video of the day diving.
