The S.V Rum Runner Australia is a fantastic budget friendly way to dive the Great Barrier Reef. There are 2 tours available, a 2-day/1-night itinerary away from the crowds at the Outer Great Barrier Reef, or a longer 3-night expedition to dive with sharks at the even more remote Holmes Reef. The classic 1-night tour is perfect for divers, snorkellers or even people who would like to try diving in this amazing area. 6 dives are available, including a night dive, meaning that you will get the most out of your 2 days on the Great Barrier Reef. For the more adventurous diver the 3-night Coral Sea shark-diving trip is a must. Holmes Reef lies 90 miles outside of the Great Barrier Reef, so due to its isolation is home to abundant sharks, large pelagic fish life and incredible visibility - up to 50m.
Topside the S/V Rum Runner can accommodate up to 16 guests in twin and 4-share single bunk-syle berths. Cabins are not very spacious or private - more like a multi-share hostel but on on water, but ideal for resting after a day of diving or snorkeling. Common areas include an open salon and galley, as well as covered and open deck areas. There are also charging areas for cameras and phones, and separate male and female shared bathrooms with hot water shower. All meals are included but the boat operates a Bring Your Own Alcohol policy - no glass allowed.
Operating dive tours in the Grate Barrier Reef since 2005, the Rum Runner liveaboard is perfect for the adventurous diver wanting to explore Australia's Barrier Reef and beyond. Call us or book online today to reserve your space.
