Sample Itinerary
Snorkelling
About half the guests from each tour opt to enjoy the thrill of snorkelling, checking out the reefs from the surface of the water! You will get to visit 4 different sites at Thetford or Moore Reefs, where you can look forward to checking out shallow reefs that are full of stunning marine life and vast coral gardens! All your gear is provided, so all you need to bring along is a sense of adventure.
Introductory diving
Introductory diving requires no experience but promises all the fun! An introductory dive briefing is given during the journey out so you are ready to dive by the time we arrive at our first site, taking advantage of every moment on the water! We will teach you everything you need to know before you hit the water so you will feel safe and confident while exploring the reefs. You will usually be able to do up to 5 introductory dives during the tour while spending the rest of your time snorkelling or relaxing!
Certified diving
Rum Runner is a great tour for certified divers who haven't dived in a while or are just looking for leisurely diving conditions! You can do up to 6 dives during your trip, including one night dive where you can see what the reef looks like after dark! You will be briefed on what to expect beforehand so you can enjoy each site and all it has to offer, enjoying all your time under the water. Everyone dives in buddy pairs and can follow the dive leader around, checking out all the best parts each site. Experienced divers can also buddy dive without a guide and explore at their own leisure!
Reef sites
Rum Runner visits reefs on Thetford or Moore Reefs and carefully select each reef based on the conditions of the day! Reefs can be as shallow as 1 metre during low tide, making them easy and accessible to both scuba divers and snorkellers.
