Evolution has perfectly designed 'outer wing' platforms, providing you with unequalled access to explore an underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef 10,000 years in the making. As a certified diver, you can buddy up and dive at your own pace. Evolution visits two reef sites during the reef tour. Book up to 3 scuba dives during the day!

There is also the opportunity to book a guided dive with one of our friendly and knowledgeable PADI Qualified Dive Instructors who will take you on a guided dive trail to see all the best spots.

Note: all Certified Divers must show an internationally recognised scuba card.

Certified Diving on the Great Barrier Reef

Evolution travels to 2 of our 12 exclusive outer Great Barrier Reef dive locations every day. Our certified divers can enjoy up to 3 dives per day, either guided by one of our professional Dive Masters or with your own dive buddy or one we can provide for you.

Each certified scuba dive takes up to 40 minutes and to a depth of up to 18 metres. Our experienced, environmentally conscious PADI-qualified divemasters know all the best areas at our sites and know how to find and interact with all the amazing marine life.

All snorkel & scuba equipment is provided for you on the day but you are welcome to use your own equipment if you have it with you.

With over 5 hours at the reef, there's plenty of time between dives for snorkelling and relaxation.

Lycra suits and wet suits are included free of charge for divers.
