The marine reserve at Maria Island offers outstanding snorkeling opportunities for people of any age and any skill level (must have a reasonable level of swimming competence, children less than 14yrs must be accompanied by an adult). The establishment of a marine protected area (MPA) along the North Western shore of the Island, between Darlington and Point Lasseur, has created a unique underwater wilderness, untouched and pristine. Come within touching distance of monstrous Southern Rock Lobster (Tassie Crayfish) and giant Black Lipped Abalone. See an abundance of marine life not normally seen in similar shallow rocky reefs. Experience all of this right underneath the rugged mountain forests and white sandy beaches of Maria Island.
Packages include the hire of masks, snorkels and fins. For those new to snorkeling and want to explore the reefs without wearing a mask and snorkel, we also supply reef viewing body boards.
Special charters can be arranged for bookings over 10, making this a great experience for corporate groups and team building exercises.
We believe our customers deserve the most comfortable and safest dive charter we can provide. By offering guided snorkel dives, a trained and experienced Dive Master (DM) will be present for those wishing to have the benefit of snorkel diving with a dive professional. This is a great opportunity for divers with less experience to explore new and exciting snorkeling locations. If you are comfortable snorkeling without a DM, we are more than happy for you to snorkel on your own.
