Fantastic value on this 2 day 1 night live aboard adventure with Rum Runner departing from Cairns.
Including 5 cert dives & 1 cert night dive this trip is amazing value
The Rum Runner 2 day 1 night dive tour from Cairns is a motor sailing schooner measuring 66 feet. The boat was built in 1984 and has a remarkably durable fibreglass hull. Rum Runner can seat up to 16 passengers in twin and four-share cabins. The berths in each cabin are set up single bunk style, as is typical for anyone familiar with sailboats, so the cabins are not particularly spacious or private.
For charging cameras while on the boat, there are USB and 240V AC outlets. As well as hot water in separate male and female toilet-shower cubicles
Day 1
Rum Runner passengers should arrive at the company office (Rum Runner – Marlin Marina, E finger, Berth 3) by 7 a.m. for a 7.30 a.m. departure.
Arrive at Thetford Reef at 11 a.m. 4 dives and snorkelling trips
The Dive Instructor will go over general dive safety and the first dive spot with everyone. Diving will be suited to specific skill levels. If somebody is feeling rusty, one of the crew members will accompany them. On their first dive if they so desire. If needed, guided dives can be arranged.
It’s time for some of the world’s best diving and snorkelling; sites include The Labyrinth, the Lagoon, Hurricane Bay, and Coral Gardens; from shallow coral gardens to lonely pinnacles to tunnels, swim throughs, and stunning cliffs.
Dinner is served while you watch the sun set behind Cairns over the mountains.
During the evening, guests can unwind, enjoy a few social beverages, and get to know one another as the qualified divers prepare for the night dive. Evenings are low-key affairs, with simply a few drinks and a talk on deck while at anchor in the calm water of the company’s secured night moorings. The stars over the Great Barrier Reef are an amazing sight in clear weather.
Day 2
On the second day 2 dives and snorkel sessions are on offer. Firstly an invigorating morning dive and snorkel, before a hearty breakfast sees the start to a day of diving & exploring. Last dive includes swim-through’s and caverns, then a quick lunch break before heading off before noon. Now before departing the Reef for a sail to the tropical city of Cairns. FInnish the trip with a couple of drinks going over the photos and videos with your fellow divers and snorkelers.
