Check in for your Ocean Free Green Island diving day tour at the Reef Fleet Terminal at 7.30am.  If you have not had time for breakfast, don’t panic as a full morning tea, including fruit, tea, coffee and muffins is served on board Ocean Free.  Relax on the spacious sun deck as you make your way to Green Island and the Ocean Free mooring site at Pinnacle Reef.  Green Island is actually surrounded by extensive sea grass beds, so snorkelling and diving from the island, for the most part, is not very good.  While Pinnacle Reef is only 700m offshore, the difference is amazing.  This spectacular reef has an amazing diversity of coral, ranging from soft anemones to brain coral and staghorn corals.  Its wildlife is just as diverse, including large batfish, spangled emperor, nemo (of course) and even some harmless, black tipped reef sharks.  Coral outcrops arise from 12m below to just metres under the water.  Our professional guides can accompany you, to make sure you are comfortable.  If you have had enough time in the water, take a free Ocean Free tender transfer to Green Island, the only island on the Great Barrier Reef to have tropical rainforest!  On your return journey, enjoy cheese and fruit platters and watch out for dolphins.
