Imagine an underwater experience the whole family
(children 12 years and over) can enjoy together. Now imagine an
underwater experience where your face stays dry and you can easily
interact
with family and friends as you walk along the sea floor. Well
that
experience is Seawalker. An Underwater Walking adventure designed
for anyone looking for an underwater experience that gives them
the Great Barrier Reef up close and personal.
How it all begins...
You meet our Seawalker representatives aboard
the catamaran or at the Seawalker Counter in the Green Island
Dive Centre.
After a simple and informative briefing on this
unique experience you are transferred from the beach aboard our
shuttle boat to the Seawalker Australia Diving Support Vessel
anchored only 3 minutes offshore from Green Island.
Under the water you go...
One of the great advantages of the Seawalker Helmet
is that for those who wear glasses or contact lenses, you can
wear them on your Seawalker adventure as your face stays dry.
Waiting at the top of the ladder, you are given
a few words of encouragement by the friendly staff and the Seawalker
helmet is placed onto your shoulders.
For children or adults with a smaller build, a
collar is placed on their shoulders first to provide a more comfortable
fit.
With a Seawalker Guide by your side, you climb
down the ladder and start your underwater adventure.
On the sea floor...
After descending about 4-5 metres you are accompanied
by your Seawalker Guides on your first steps underwater.
Walking on the sea floor brings you up close and
personal with some of the animals that makes the Great Barrier
Reef so special.
The Seawalker Diving Support Vessel anchors close
to coral reef. Here you can enjoy the amazing shapes and colours
of the coral and reef animals.
After 15-20 minutes which will leave you with
some wonderful memories, you are climbing the ladder back to the
surface and your quick return to the island beach.
