ABC Snorkel Charters is now ABC Reef Safaris! You're in the right place - check out our exciting news...

ABC Reef Safaris and freediving the reef at simply amazing destinations.

For those who love the freedom of diving on a single breath, ABC Reef Safaris offers the rare chance to freedive the Outer Great Barrier Reef aboard Independence. Unlike other Port Douglas operators, we allow experienced freedivers to use weight belts, making descents smoother and more controlled. Freediving here is unguided and always buddy-based, giving you space to explore responsibly while feeling fully alive in the moment. Glide silently through coral gardens, meet curious fish eye-to-eye and experience the Reef in its purest form. It’s exhilarating, intimate and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere on the Great Barrier Reef.
