The crew took us to world class dive sites filled with every type of coral, fish and vertebrate I have ever dreamed of seeing and of course the minke whales.

MINKE WHALE SEASON CONTINUES TO DELIVER!
From the dive deck – Kerrin Jones


Minke whale season continues to exceed expectations, with guests experiencing some of the best whale encounters of the season this week. One easily recognisable whale was seen at three different dive sites over a period of several days and seemed to get more friendly with each encounter. As well as the whales, divers also enjoyed some of the best diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
