About Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive

We are a multi-award winning, PADI 5-Star Dive Centre specialising in snorkel and dive trips to various reefs on the Great Barrier Reef, and the SS Yongala.

Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive is committed to protecting our natural environment. All our trips are ECO Certified by ECO Tourism Australia. This involves a commitment to environmental sustainability and education of our guests.

Our day vessel Endorphin is a 20 metre twin screw engine flybridge cruiser and is partially shaded with easy access in and out of the water, travels at 17-18 knots and accommodates up to 40 passengers.
Our Liveaboard vessel Sea Esta is a 17-metre mono-hull, which travels at approximately 7.5 knots. She was built in Townsville, commissioned in 1982 and has been servicing the Great Barrier Reef from Airlie Beach to Cairns as a dive vessel and can hold up to 20 passengers.

Snorkel and Dive with the BEST:
Over many years of operation Adrenalin Snorkel & Dive has firmly established itself as the best snorkeling and diving provider in the Townsville region. We are a locally owned and run business whose sole ambition is to provide our guests with experiences that will last a life time. We are the only operator that travels direct from Townsville and Magnetic Island to the Great Barrier Reef and the SS Yongala Wreck. We only take small groups out on our vessels, meaning our crew spend far more time with each of our guests than larger operators in Cairns and Airlie Beach. Rest assured that you are in very capable and caring hands when you choose to train or travel with us. So jump on board and let us show you what makes the Central Section of the Great Barrier Reef so unique and spectacular. In 2022 we are proud to have obtained a ‘Quality Tourism – Sustainable’ accreditation through the Queensland Tourism Industry Council’s Quality Tourism Framework. This means we have proven our commitment to delivering the highest quality service and business procedures to our customers and have the accreditation to prove it.
We care about the Environment:
Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive has earned from Eco Tourism Australia ‘Green Travel Leader’ Status, as we have been a fully certified Eco Tourism operator since 2005. We actively seek out new ways to reduce our waste and carbon footprint in every facet of our business. Our trips are focused on educating our guests on the health of the reef and what we can all do as individuals to reduce our impacts upon the environment. We are pleased that Eco Tourism Australia has recognised Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive as an Eco Tourism operator, continuing in to 2022. You can find our certification here.
