Liveaboard Dive Trips

Reef Encounter offers divers the ability to dive on multiple sites across five of the best Outer Great Barrier Reefs. We specialise in running personalised scuba courses from beginner to dive professional level and in offering divers outstanding dive holidays to the outer reefs.

Reef Encounter is a leading operator for unbeatable dive trips to the Great Barrier Reef. All scuba diving locations are selected for the optimal conditions depending on the weather and the time of year, and are chosen for your comfort and safety.

If you’re travelling on board Reef Encounter, don’t miss the night dives and dawn dives! They are possibly the most magical times on the reef, as they are the busiest times of day in this incredible ecosystem. Read our information about ‘Daybreak at the Reef’ and ‘Night Diving’ to find out why these are such wonderful dive opportunities.

Reef Encounter is equipped with a large, purpose built, dive platform for easy access into and out of the water. There are two onboard compressors to provide quick air refills, and all scuba equipment, food and accommodation are included in your trip. Optional extras are wetsuits and dive torches if you require them, which are available for hire onboard. Prescription lens masks are also available for hire.

See ‘Accommodation, Dining and Facilities‘ for more information.

Diving at The Great Barrier Reef

With the greatest concentration of marine life on the planet, The Great Barrier Reef has something to offer everyone from experienced advanced divers to first time explorers. Imagine floating serenely around a coral lagoon or discovering underwater swim-throughs that open into sunlit coves, bursting with tropical fish.
