Private Scuba Diving and Snorkelling Charters
-The Great Barrier Reef-

Private Charters - Day, Overnight and Extended Trips - December to August


Moana III Private Charter Boat can also cater for Private Scuba Diving Charters and Snorkelling charters for those wishing to experience one of the world's best locations, the Great Barrier Reef and The Coral Sea. 

As one of the seven natural wonders of the world, this is a wonderful way to experience such a unique reef adventure. Being a Luxury Private Charter Boat, Moana III has the freedom with an open permit to move from one location to the other in what ever time frame you desire. From Cairns and Port Douglas we can visit wonderful and famous locations such as the Cod Hole (Lizard Island) Osprey Reef, the beautiful outer edge of the continental shelf and the Ribbon Reefs in the Coral Sea.
Experience the brilliant turquoise waters filled with thousands of marine plants, brilliantly coloured corals and animal species such as turtles, eels, rays, giant clams, starfish and an endless variety of beautifully coloured fish from the biggest gropers to the clownfish.
To experience any of these reefs is truly magical. It is the world's largest reef system and can be seen from outer space!

In the coral sea it is common for us to swim with whale sharks, watch a live performance of the energetic spinner dolphins or in their season, humpback whales are a daily occurrence.
We organise a fully qualified Dive Master or Dive Instructor from Pro Dive, the most reputable company in Cairns, to take you on your very own private dive charter with your own itinerary to any of the hundreds of reputable dive locations on the Great Barrier Reef and Ribbon Reefs.

Along with organising your Dive Master or Instructor, Big Fish Down Under can organise all the dive equipment you will need for your ultimate private scuba diving adventure.
