About Scuba Doo
Each Scuba Doo tour is approximately 20 minutes and you will be accompanied by a scuba diving instructor to ensure you head in the right direction and they can also point out all of the things of interest around you.
A photographer will also be under the water taking pictures of not only other scuba divers and snorkelers but also of yourself riding your scooter.
If you wear contact lenses or glasses no problem as you are sitting on the scooter underneath a helmet dome and your eyes and face will not be in the water at all enabling you to see all the corals and marine life around you thru the clear Perspex window.
The air is supplied to the Scuba Doo from the scooters tank that is located on its frame and the battery life of the scooter is around 1.5 hours.
This helmet dome provides you with a 180 degree view of your reef surroundings so you just scoot along and take it all in. No exertion or effort is required on this tour you do not even need to know how to swim to see the Great Barrier Reef from under the water.
To drive the scooter all you do is hold the aircraft style steering wheel and turn it in the direction you wish to go. For it to start you push the button on the right hand side and then it will move forwards.
You will be going down to depths of 4 metres and you will be cruising along at around 2.5 knots with the freedom of just you your cozzies and the water so not heavy tanks or anything else to think about.
Try Seawalker - Walk On the Ocean Floor
For another amazing under water activity you should try Seawalker on your next visit on a combo package 2 in 1 deal to Green Island and the outer Barrier Reef pontoon, or with your day tour to only Green Island on the ferry from Cairns.
This is also another activity that does not require you to be a swimmer or scuba diver as you are weighted down to the ocean floor with weight belts and oxygen comes straight into your helmet from above the water’s surface.
Walk along on the bottom of the ocean as the wonderful tropical fish swim all around you. This is where you will meet Gavin the famous Parrot Fish.
