If you have never been diving, why not try an introductory dive, Ocean Quest offers a 2 Day / 1 Night trip with 5 introductory dives over the course of the 2 days. You do not need to have experience, all that is needed is that you can swim and you will have to fill out a medical questionnaire.
DIVE LOCATIONS
They have 14 permanent locations on the Outer Barrier Reef, these include Norman and Saxon reefs. The reason for the permanent sites is to ensure minimal damage to the coral formations.
