Discover the Great Palm Islands

Our day trips run regular to the Palm Island group with some of the best diversity the Great Barrier

Reef has to offer! With 310 of the 350 known species of corals on the Great Barrier Reef and over 1,200

different species of fish life as well, rest assured there will be plenty to see. Located on Orpheus Island is

the Orpheus Island Research Station, a marine research facility operated by James Cook University.

Internationally renowned Marine Scientists perform vital study on climate change, sea level rise, and their

possible implications on the local reef and ecosystems during various periods of the year.

 

All our sites offer their own unique features with no two sites being the same. Depths average 5-20m, so

there is something here for divers and snorkelers alike, regardless of experience level. For those that are

looking to get a dive certification, we offer everything from discover scuba diving right through to

professional levels. We have courses running every weekend as well for those wishing to take the first

step into their diving adventures or continue their diving qualifications.
