Our liveaboard vessel Ocean Quest is the ultimate Great Barrier Reef overnight experience from Cairns. Spend your days and nights exploring the best outer Great Barrier Reef dive sites aboard our floating accommodation, snorkeling, introductory diving and certified diving options available.

When just one day at the reef isn’t enough, an overnight trip from Cairns gives you all the time you need. Visit our colourful dive and snorkel sites during the day, and at night everything from the air-conditioned cabins with ensuites, lounge and bar, are designed for your comfort.

Our three-deck, 35m catamaran is purpose built for a top-class dive holiday, with a spacious dive deck, large open sundecks and hot, freshwater showers and carrying a maximum of 48 passengers. All delicious meals are prepared by our onboard chef, including hearty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Enjoy a well-deserved dessert treat after your day in the water.

At night, relax in the lounge and bar. Or if you’re keen for more undersea adventures, try a unique night dive experience like Fish in the Dark or Fluoro Diving to make your time on board our floating reef hotel truly unforgettable.
