  • Overview

    Take the plunge and try an introductory dive on a day trip from Cairns with the local experts, Divers Den. If you want to try diving at the Great Barrier Reef, let our friendly and experienced crew be your guides.

    You don’t need any previous diving experience – if you’re comfortable in the water, you can usually dive (see the important information section for more details). You’ll be given briefings, tuition and all the skills practice you need at the surface to make sure your dive is a safe, amazing experience.
    With the expert supervision of our instructors, you’ll soon be comfortable breathing underwater. During your introductory dive you’ll descend to 12m (40 feet) below the surface and enjoy the amazing marine life that awaits beneath the waves.

    We visit two outer reef dive sites every day, chosen from our exclusive moorings based on the day's conditions.

    Our diving equipment is top quality, and our vessels are purpose-built for diving, with a spacious dive decks and easy access platform for introductory divers. In between dives, enjoy snorkelling (included for all passengers).

    Did the 4 day open water certification in Cairns. This was such a fun and challenging experience. I felt safe and supported at all times and enjoyed every minute. The reef was the perfect place to be certified. Ana was sensational! She was informative, fun, skilled and encouraging. I would recommend taking the tread water and 200m swim requirements very seriously, as you definitely need this as a minimum in the ocean.

    I was recommended Divers Den to do my intro dive by someone at my hotel and he was right! This is such a great company with wonderful people. They made my first time diving feel fun and easy and my two dive instructors were really caring and easy to follow underwater. This will not be the last time I dive. Thank you to the staff for making it such a wonderful first time! The reefs we went to were also fantastic with so much marine life to see! From sharks to turtles to giant fish! The longer you stay in the water the more sea creatures come lurking around the corner. They give you plenty of time diving and snorkeling with a great buffet of food in between. Definitely recommend Divers Den for this tour and others they offer!

    The best crew ever! We booked a 2D1N diving tour at great barrier bay with divers dan, we felt really taken good care of, and had so much fun underwater. We had 6 dives in total, including 1 night dive. So many sharks and cute little things that I can't name, and we saw one gigantic sea turtle - longer than my arms combined - during the night dive. The food was delicious, shout out to the chef🫡 We had a wonderful trip, thank you very much. Special thanks to our diving instructor Natalie, Aden, Lisa, Chinami, Roig for taking care of us during the guided tours 💙

    I recently completed my Divemaster certification here, and I cannot say enough good things about my instructors Mar and Simon. The rest of the crew/staff is nice enough, but these two really made the experience special. Mar is an amazing teacher, and a wonderful mentor for divers looking to enter the industry as professionals. She went above and beyond teaching the materials of the course, and exemplifies what a true dive professional and instructor should be. Her passion for diving is clear, and she imparts that passion to her students through her teaching and role-modeling in the classroom and underwater. Shes incredibly friendly, and makes the course really fun to be a part of. Simon is incredible as well, you can really feel that he wants you to succeed, and cares about his students a lot. He is extremely attentive in his approach, and makes sure that you not only learn what is required, but that you have a amazing and fun time in the process. I am so grateful to have taken the course with him. I would 10/10 would recommend taking any certification level courses with either of these experienced divers as your instructor, I feel very lucky to have had them teach me.
