If you don't spend a lot of time in Cairns but want to go diving, or if you don't like to stay overnight on boats, Tusa offers you the possibility to go diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Their brand new day vessel Tusa 5 departs daily and takes you in great comfort and at a maximum speed of 20 knots to the Reef. TUSA 5 offers lounge style seating in airconditioned comfort. There is also a sunken, open air lounge on the bow. Flat screens throughout the boat. There are also 2 resh water showers and 3 toilets on board.

It takes approximately 90 minutes to get to the dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef. With a maximum number of 60 guests on board, Tusa 5 offers truly great service. You cannot get a better "easy entry dive platform" than on
Tusa 5!

On TUSA 5, you have a mix of snorkellers and certified divers. The experienced crew ensures that everyone, regardless of their

experience level, has a trip to the reef long to be remembered.

Tusa gets you to the best reefs that can be reached in a day: Milln, Flynn, Saxons, Norman or Michaelmas Reef. Tusa has some great moorings on all locations.

Features

The service is excellent. For divers: You get an excellent briefing and go diving with a dive buddy, you do not have to dive in a group. Most certified divers prefer that option, however, if you want to have to dive in a group with a dive guide, the option is available.

You get spoiled, sit on the stairs of the "water level easy entry dive platform", the instructor helps you to slip into your gear, get up, giant entry into the water!

Tusa is one of the few companies in Cairns, which offers diving for handicapped divers (extra costs may apply). Please tell us your requirements if you are handicapped and we can help you to organise and book your diving with Tusa.
