Enjoy an underwater helmet dive in Cairns with no scuba experience necessary.
Spice up your Cairns holiday with a helmet dive. It's an interactive, underwater experience without getting your hair wet and is the perfect way of seeing the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns with no scuba diving or even swimming skills necessary. Walk with the security of an underwater ledge enabling even those nervous in water to relax into the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. Helmet diving offers a totally new perspective of the reef, almost a fish-eye view, allowing you to breathe underwater without all the fiddly SCUBA apparatus, just a bubble shaped helmet to keep the oxygen flowing while you observe the reef in all of it’s glory.
Please note that bookings are essential as the helmet dives are very popular and numbers are limited. All the reef boats listed below offer helmet diving as an optional extra at their outer reef platforms.
