Snorkel and dive safaris 

The Journey begins...
Each safari departs from Monkey Mia at 8.45 am. Your diving safari coach travels to the World Heritage listed Francois Peron National Park beside Shark Bay.

After passing the old Peron Homestead we travel through a real outback setting taking a “Bush Bash” on red sand tracks and across salt pans known to Aboriginals as "Birridas". This trek gets fairly rough at times but you're travelling in a sturdy off-road coach and this is all part of the fun and excitement.

There is every possibility that you’ll see extensive Australian wildlife. Look out for kangaroos, emus, snakes, exotic birds and numerous lizards. The flora is a very hardy desert type of vegetation and totally foreign to what most of our guests have experienced in their lives to date.

Equipment provided
To reach the safari destination known as "The Gregorys" in the Shark Bay Marine Park, will take about 1½ hours. On arrival you will be provided with dive or snorkel equipment. Your guide will assist you in selecting the correct area for your level of skill as well as briefing you of the dangers in the area.

The Best Drift Dive on the West Coast We use a Zodiac inflatable to drop divers in a channel between two sections of reef. From this point you allow the gentle current to carry you along the reef observing the abundant fish, soft and hard corals, turtles and other marine life. You will be astounded at both the variety and quantity including Shark Bay species and colourful reef varieties. You may even hand feed huge batfish.

When you reach the end of your dive you simply climb up onto the reef and raise your hand. The Zodiac, nicknamed “The Limo”, will come and pick you up and take you back to the beach. The maximum depth around the reef is about four metres and at this stage we use an Australian designed and made electric “Hookah” system to provide air. Full SCUBA equipment will be introduced in time for the winter season.

A Great One Way Drift Snorkel Simply jump of the edge of the reef into about two metres of water and allow the gentle current to carry you over a myriad of wonderful marine treasures. When you have had enough the “Limo” service will be available to bring you back to the beach and save you a long swim back into the current.

Lunch (tucker) At about 12.30 p.m.
We break for lunch of souvlakis with fresh salads and a choice of meat fillings. These fillings will give you the chance to taste a variety of Australian "bush tucker" and when available kangaroo meat and wild goat will be offered with beef, chicken, fish and other local delicacies. Water, fruit juice, tea, coffee are provided throughout the day.

After lunch its back into the water for another great view of the marine life here in Shark Bay Western Australia. Whether you've done a bit of diving before or not, you're probably now feeling totally stoked about today's unique adventure experience with Powerdive Shark Bay.

We Leave the location at 2.45 pm and arrive back at Monkey Mia at approximately 4.15 pm. By now you're probably figuring out whether you have enough time to repeat the experience again later in the week.
