Various tours throughout the year

Spoilsport liveaboard in Australia runs several different tours along the Great Barrier Reef depending on demand and seasons. Certain requirements are placed on your experience and if you have not dived for a long time, you will need to do a checkup dive. Diving on the outer reaches of the Great Barrier Reef in eastern and northeastern Australia can be demanding and you are far from land. Depending on the weather and winds, routes may change. Diving at the dive sites takes place according to the "open deck" principle. This means that at the dive sites you can dive pretty much as much as you want and when you want. Three to five dives per day is normal. Then it depends on transport times and how long you are at each dive site. All divers must use the Nautilus Lifeline GPS which can be borrowed on board.
