Undersea Explorer Queensland Australia

You’ve seen them on National Geographic – now join their voyage of discovery! Undersea Explorer is Australia’s most exciting live aboard scuba diving operation, offering six day adventure diving expeditions with a marine research focus.

Their expeditions encompass an incredible range of reef diving, visiting the Ribbon Reefs of the Great Barrier Reef and journeying out to Osprey Reef, one of the worlds most magnificent coral atolls rising 1000 metres form the ocean floor. Osprey Reef is well known for its awesome visibility and sharks, especially North Horn where divers will encounter at least 25 sharks during their dive, and will see the rare deep sea nautilus.

Each week their marine scientists carry out valuable research on remote coral reefs. In turn, guests are able to learn from the experts, and enjoy new and different dive experiences including shark attraction dives, deep sea nautilus dives, and in-water encounters with whales. The research activities fit around the diving program, adding a stimulating atmosphere of discovery to all expeditions while contributing to their knowledge and conservation of marine eco-systems.

Aside from the stimulating interchanges between divers and researchers, they create a unique experience that is exciting, and great fun!
