Charters 
Go Dive regularly runs day trips to World class scuba diving sites right here on Brisbane's doorstep, including Moreton Bay Marine Park and Stradbroke Island.
Travel time to our dive sites is approximately one hour during which we pass through Amity Banks and cross the South Passage Bar. A great place to keep your eyes peeled for dugongs, dolphins and more.
Our dive sites are carefully selected each day according to prevailing weather conditions, tides and level of experience of each diver on board. Once safely moored at one of twenty possible sites, you will be given a thorough dive briefing by one of our professional Divemasters or Instructors on board before being assisted into your scuba gear.
Diving in a marine park environment allows us to observe a huge array of marine life from the small but very colourful Sea Anemones and Nudibranchs to much larger creatures such as Hawksbill and Loggerhead turtles, Manta Rays and during winter - Humpback Whales and Grey Nurse Sharks.
Our dive site depths vary from five to thirty metres. Dive times regularly range between 35 to 60 mins allowing you plenty of time to explore each site. Average visibility of Stradbroke Island is 15 to 20 metres with 35 to 40 metres not uncommon. Water temperature ranges in our Summer season of November to April vary from 24 to 28 degrees. May to October temperatures vary from 19 to 22 degrees.
The Straddie Explorer day boat provides the divers and snorkellers of Brisbane a great opportunity to experience the Moreton Bay Marine Park in great comfort and style.

Sites 1. Curtin Artificial Reef is comprised of more than 20 ships deliberately scuttled by the Underwater Research Group of Queensland. The first was sunk in 1967 and even today more are still being added.
Curtin is famous for the family of giant groper that inhabit these waters, some of which can weigh up to 500 kg. If you're lucky enough, you can see 4 or 5 in one school so keep an eye out.
2. Tangalooma Wrecks. These wrecks are filled with a great abundance of marine life from giant Trevally to Crayfish. The dive is best completed in a drift so that in a 40-minute dive you see all the wrecks along the wall.
Tangalooma offers every diving environment in 1 dive, including reef, wreck, drift and naturalist, all in about 12 metres of water.
3. Cementco. A large upturned wreck, seemingly unremarkable until divers look inside. It is home to massive rays and groupers as well as crayfish. Wreck penetration or just swimming outside observing the wide range of fish and coral life are equally rewarding.
4. Flinders Reef has an amazing diversity of fish and marine creatures including more than 175 species of fish, many species of Turtles and in the winter months, the migrating Whales. Flinders reef also has many pinnacles, swim throughs, ledges and even a sunken trawler.
5. Flat Rock is one of Brisbane's most popular scuba diving sites, mainly because of the natural rocky environment and the diverse range of coral and fish that you are likely to encounter. You can see anything from tiny clown fish to the docile giants of the sea, the grey nurse sharks.
