The first reef stop, either Saxon Reef or Norman Reef depending on weather and water clarity, is reached after approximately 90 minutes. Visitors can snorkel or dive here with professional instruction and equipment provided. Lunch is served onboard and features a BBQ with fresh fish, steak, prawns, salads, and bread, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options available upon request.
