Calypso Dive & Snorkel operate a beautiful dive boat from Port Douglas. This boat was built with divers and snorkelers in mind. A large hydraulic step is located at the back of the boat, this makes it extremely easy to get in and out of the water.
With reef permits located on Agincourt Reefs, St Crispin Reef, Undine Reef, Opal, and Tongue Reef. Calypso Dive & Snorkel visit three outer reef sites in one day. This means you can complete 3 certified dives and 3 separate sites, absolutely fantastic.
The trip includes full dive and snorkel gear. For those that book certified diving (extra cost), all dives are guided by professional dive instructors. Groups are small with enthusiastic dive instructors to guide the dives. The last dive of the day can often be a drift dive!
Enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits upon boarding in the morning followed by a tropical Buffett of cold meats, fresh salads, antipasto, and bread. Afternoon tea is often homemade slices of fresh fruit, tea, and coffee. Chilled filter tap water is provided all day.
First-time introductory scuba diving (extra cost) is also available on this boat. Remember to try diving, everyone needs to be medically fit with no asthma and you must not be taking any prescription medication.

Calypso visits three outer reefs in one day. This means you can complete three certified dives all in the dame day all on different reef sites. Dives are guided by professional PADI dive instructors that love their job.
Expect to dive over large coral gardens with many species of soft and hard corals like large boulder/brain corals, mushroom corals, soft corals, and much more. Expect to see many different species of marine animals like mauri wrasse, anemonefish, giant clams, nudibranchs, parrot fish, glassfish, moray eels, sting rays, white tip reef sharks, and much more.
Snorkeling:
Calypso Dive & Snorkel offers passengers a wonderful opportunity to snorkel over large coral gardens often in really shallow water only 1.5 meters deep. Remember do not touch the coral.
Entry into the water is via the large hydraulic step located at the rear of the vessel. The design of this boat really does make it very easy to get in and out of the water.
Enjoy snorkeling on three outer reef sites. You will be mesmerized by the sheer natural beauty of our underwater world as you snorkel on Agincourt reefs, St Crispin Reef, Opal Reef and Tongue Reef.
The outer reefs from Port Douglas are renowned for their extreme natural beauty.

Remember to try any form of scuba diving everyone needs to be medically fit with no asthma and not be taking any prescription medication. PADI recommends allowing up to 24 hours after diving before flying in an airplane. Some tour operators have a no refund policy for any dives not completed for whatever reason. Please note the art of freediving is not permitted on any of the day boats or liveaboard dive boats from Cairns & Port Douglas. With the high instances of (shallow water blackout) companies do not allow this for safety reasons. It is highly recommended that passengers take out full comprehensive travel insurance for all tours and travel arrangements.
Do you have Medical Issues:
Please note if you have any medical issues you will need to go see your local GP where you live and get them to write you a letter on the practice letterhead signed and dated by your doctor that you are “Fit to dive” If you have one of these letters then all dive companies in Cairns will take you diving. Please note these letters are only valid for three months from their date of issue.
Inclusions: Tropical buffet lunch including, morning & afternoon tea, guided snorkel tour, snorkel equipment (mask, fins and snorkel), lycra suit, qualified lifeguard supervision, reef interpretation presentation.
