Participant Criteria

You’ll encounter a selection of beautiful tropical fish, majestic rays and other fascinating marine life including our harmless Black tip and White tip reef sharks. You will look through to the Shark Lagoon to see the much larger sharks including one of the most misunderstood sharks, the Bull whaler shark.

The water is heated in winter to a very comfortable 22-24 degrees, and features a number of ‘safe havens’ where you can stand and rest while snorkelling. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced Dive Leader for the duration of your snorkel and you’ll also receive a souvenir photograph to take home as a memento of this incredible experience.
