Mollo Charters - Snorkelling and Diving

The Snorkelling

Our cruises offer guests excellent snorkelling opportunities in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Snorkel the amazing coral reef and see a vast variety of colourful tropical fish in the clear blue waters.

The Whitsunday Islands are a great place for snorkelling as the coral of the fringing reef around the islands lies in very shallow waters. You can snorkel directly off the beach and see the fascinating marine life close up.

No experience is necessary. Mask, snorkel and fins are provided free of charge.

The Dive

All our boats visit the best diving locations in the Whitsunday Islands, like Blue Pearl Bay of Hayman Island, Luncheon Bay of Hook Island, and Bali Hai. There you will see some of the best coral and fish in the breat Barrier Reef Marine Park. Explore coral drop offs, swim throughs and bommies. Dolphins, whales, manta rays, turtles, and a vast variety of tropical fish may be seen.

Introductory dives are a great way of trying scuba diving for the first time. No experience is necessary. Your instructor will first explain the theory and then do some practical exercises with you in in waist deep water off the beach before taking you down. By then you will be so relaxed that you can full enjoy diving between the coral and the fish. This is an experience that shouldn't be missed.

The New Horizon is a fully equipped dive boat. They cater for all the needs of the diver, either the certified or the novice.
Every cruise has one or two dive instructors onboard. All staff is well qualified and our company operates within all the guidelines of Workplace Health and Safety, as the safety of our clients is very important to us. Dive equipment is supplied onboard each vessel, all free of charge. Stinger suits are not included, but may be hired on board.
