About Us
Cairns Dive Adventures is your complete Cairns Reef Tour Directory. This site has been prepared to provide unbiased advice and information on Cairns’ snorkel and dive day tours, liveaboard dive trips and learn to dive and diving courses on the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea with up to date information.
Owned and operated by Richard and Julie Johnston, Cairns Dive Adventures’ website started in 2010. As long term local residents who are passionate about the region and the reef, they established Cairns Dive Adventures to provide visitors with a one-stop reef tour research and booking tool, providing unbiased advice, helpful information and tour reviews.

Richard is a Cairns website developer and Julie a qualified journalist, with more than 10 years tourism marketing experience in Cairns. Cairns Dive Adventures is their passion and it is hoped the site proves a valuable planning tool for visitors coming to Cairns’ Great Barrier Reef.
