Rainforest Scuba

Same time as a platypus, Rainforest Scuba offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dive in the rainforest's crystal clear freshwater.

Located in Finch Hatton in the Mackay/Isaac Region of Queensland, Rainforest Scuba is a multi-award-winning tour agency that specialises in scuba diving in the unique and breathtaking environment of the rainforest. With a wide range of aquatic life to explore, divers will have the chance to encounter a large variety of turtles, ranging from small ones the size of a 20 cent piece to larger ones the size of a pizza pan.

In addition to turtles, there are also seven species of fish, including tiny and colourful ones, as well as larger ones. The highlight of the diving experience is the opportunity to meet Cateelona and Eva, the friendly eeltail catfish, who allow divers to get up close and personal. Divers may also encounter rare Gordian rainbow-coloured worms, as well as three breeds of freshwater eels that simply sit and chill.

For those who are lucky, they may even have the chance to share the water with Penelope and Latisha, the resident platypus. Being in the water at the same time as a platypus is truly a bucket list experience that is only offered by Rainforest Scuba.

Suitable for both divers and non-divers starting from the age of 8, this unforgettable activity is perfect for the whole family. Each dive begins with a 30-minute platypus education followed by a 20-30-minute show and tell of the other aquatic life in the billabong. The personalised service ensures a maximum of 6 and a minimum of 1 person in the water at one time, giving each diver the attention they deserve.

Rainforest Scuba takes pride in offering a no time limit dive, allowing divers to explore at their own pace with no pressure to hurry up. Furthermore, with no dangerous creatures, like stinging or biting animals, divers can rest assured that their safety is always a priority.

For those who prefer land tours, Rainforest Scuba also offers a Mackay region tour, Finch Hatton Gorge tour, and Eungella tour. If you don't want to get into the water, you can still enjoy a personalised private platypus land tour. The Mackay Finch Hatton Land tour page provides details on how to design your own private personal tour.

To make bookings, you can reach Rainforest Scuba through phone contact or email. Dive start times may vary and are subject to change, so it's best to contact Luana, the main contact person, for any customisation or clarification.

Rainforest Scuba, with its unparalleled diving experience in crystal clear rainforest waters home to platypus, offers a truly unique Australian adventure for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a non-diver looking for an extraordinary experience, Rainforest Scuba guarantees an unforgettable journey into the heart of the rainforest.
