Looking for something totally different ?

The Rowley Shoals is the most remote dive location in Australia. Only a couple of cruises a year go to this pristine atoll. Diving here is something that has to be experienced to be believed. And no one knows the secrets like Chris Tucker, and the crew of the luxurious Great Escape.

Dive Sites

A thousand nautical miles north of Perth, and only an hour's direct flight from Bali, lies the fabled Kimberley Coast. A day's cruising west of Broome, discover the Rowley Shoals, an eco-dive experience unmatched anywhere else in the world. A chain of three spectacular pristine coral atolls - each covering 80 square kilometres and rising up to 400 meters from the ocean floor on the very edge of the widest continental shelf in the world. Comparable to the Coral Sea on the East coast, the all year round warmer waters and the stronger prevailing currents make this a unique underwater environment.

Vessel

MV Great Escape is a 26m, custom built, fully air-conditioned, luxury Catamaran perfect for cruising the Kimberley Coast in comfort and style.

A specially designed 8-person spa is located on the bow, the perfect place to enjoy a cold beverage and a spectacular Kimberley sunset.

The vessel is fitted with the latest electronic navigational, safety and communication equipment. Fresh water is on-board for both drinking and bathing and an ice machine is available. A fully equipped galley with large cool room prepares fresh gourmet meals three times daily. Towels and linen are supplied and a large, covered back deck is used for relaxed entertainment and alfresco dining.
