Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef

Snorkel amongst coral reef and marine life at three different sites on the Great Barrier Reef with Calypso. Calypso’s crew provides supervision and tuition with a comprehensive safety brief and guided snorkel tour.

While travelling to the reef from Port Douglas our friendly crew will introduce you to snorkelling by conducting a snorkel brief on the vessel. After arriving at the first of three sites the crew then demonstrate how the entry platform will assist your access into the water.

• All snorkel equipment is provided
• Flotation devices and in-water assistance is provided, catering for non-swimmers and also if you have never snorkelled before.
• Prescription masks are available on request

Calypso received the letter below which sums up beautifully the dedication they have towards snorkellers and ensuring they too can experience the very best of The Great Barrier Reef:

"My wife, Kay, has always had a morbid fear of water.  She has never been able to place her head underwater.  However, thanks to the expertise and caring nature of your employee, Tony, she ended up being able to snorkel and to experience the wonderful reef and marine sights that I have always been able to experience.

Because I imagine that Tony is the product of Calypso training, I want to thank your company for taking the time to train your staff so as to enable anyone to share the underwater marine experience.  My wife and I have been on such excursions previously in many parts of the world, including on the Reef, and no other company has made any effort in this way.

Although I know that you do advertise tuition and in-water assistance, I did not pay particular attention to that claim until after Kay had been helped in overcoming her fears.  I believe that this aspect should be stressed in your advertising material, because there are a lot of people out there like my wife.    

Yours sincerely,

Danny Sankey"

The Great Barrier Reef is a truly awesome spectacle and if you would like a sense of personal contact for your outer reef experience then blissfully Calypso will provide it. The Calypso crew will assist any nervous snorkellers and non-swimmers to ensure that they are happy and comfortable in the water.
