style="font-size: 14pt !important; padding-bottom: 28px;">Everything you need to know about diving in the Great Barrier Reef for the first time!</h2> <p>The Great Barrier Reef is on many visitors’ bucket lists due to its remarkable coral reef. You can experience firsthand just how incredible the Great Barrier Reef truly is with its range of marine species and colourful coral.</p> <p>So, you’re looking to dive in the world’s greatest reef but are unsure what to expect? Here’s what you can generally anticipate on your first dive! Keep in mind the minimum age to dive is 12 years old, and every diver must fill out a questionnaire prior to diving.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3967" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20605%20403'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="605" height="403" data-lazy-src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-2-300x200.png" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3967" src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-2-300x200.png" alt="" width="605" height="403" /></noscript></p> <h2><strong>Beginner dive certificate</strong></h2> <p>Since you’ve never dived before, tour operators will require you to complete a basic course to ensure you’re prepared. This course will cover everything you need to know about the equipment and the skills required for your dive.</p> <h2><strong>Equipment</strong></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3968" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20602%20401'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="602" height="401" data-lazy-src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-3-300x200.png" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3968" src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-3-300x200.png" alt="" width="602" height="401" /></noscript></p> <p>When you book a tour that includes a dive, you will be provided with equipment for your diving experience. The gear you will most likely receive includes a wetsuit, mask, fins, snorkel, regulator, and an air tank. Make sure the equipment fits comfortably. If you’re unsure, ask for assistance, and the instructor will ensure it is fitted correctly.</p> <h2><strong>Briefing before diving</strong></h2> <p>Right before you jump in the water, you’ll receive a briefing about the specific reef you’ll be diving at, what marine life you might encounter, and important safety procedures. This is the best time to ask any last minute questions!</p> <h2><strong>It’s time to go diving!</strong></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3969" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20608%20405'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="608" height="405" data-lazy-src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-1-300x200.png" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3969" src="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doing-a-Beginners-Dive-on-the-Great-Barrier-Reef_-Heres-What-to-Expect-1-300x200.png" alt="" width="608" height="405" /></noscript></p> <p>Finally, you’re in the water and diving for the first time! Each experience is unique, but generally, the water is warm, and the underwater visibility is clear.</p> <p>Look around and enjoy the vibrant coral and diverse marine life. The reef is home to many species, and you might see reef sharks, turtles, whales, and a variety of fish!</p> <h2><strong>Extra tips</strong></h2> <p>– If you’re flying into <a href="https://cairnstoursaustralia.com.au/guide-to-cairns/">Cairns</a> to go diving, your flight must be more than 24 hours before and after the dive.</p> <p>– Ensure you correctly fill out the questionnaire form before booking the tour and diving to confirm you’re fit to dive.</p> <p>– It’s best to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid a heavy meal before the dive.</p> <p>– If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! You can inquire before booking a tour and on the boat before the dive.</p> <p>Ready to take on your first dive on the Great Barrier Reef?
