Snorkeling - Mid March 2023

Awesome day! Plenty off fish from small to big. Beautiful coral to see as well. The snorkeling team are super friendly and helpful. They guided us to specific areas that they thought would be best to swim towards. Our group was super lucky and got more visibility than most days which was about 10m but they said they usually get around 5m. They kept an eye on all the snorkelers to ensure we were in safe areas and weren't going out too wide or far. They had beers on board to purchase for on the way home and supplied muffins and small sandwiches. They also had a water Esky so you can fill up your water bottle. Overall would definitely recommend! Remember to take your waterproof go pro or a disposable underwear camera like we did (Big W & JBHIFI great for them and only like $30 for 27 shots)!!

Awesome Airlie Beach Scuba Diving Tour

We had a great day out on our Airlie Beach Scuba Diving Tour with Aqua5. Paul and the dive instructors were fantastic and helped my girlfriend complete her first introductory dive! I also had a great dive with the certified divers and saw some awesome coral and fish. I have dived a lot over Australia and this was in the top 3 dives as it was relaxed and there was so much aquatic life! Big thanks to all the team at Aqua5 I thoroughly recommend this Scuba Diving Tour :)
