Odyssey

Dive experience: A recognised open water certification is required to dive at the Rowley Shoals. Odyssey Expeditions recommends, for your safety, that all divers have maintained their dive skills on a regular basis and have logged 20+ dives.

Cruise price per person includes: Cabin accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinking water, soft drinks, hot drinks, transfers to the boat from the hotel/port, dives (as detailed in the trips above), experienced English-speaking divemaster(s), tanks, weights and weightbelts, all port and park fees, all taxes.

Cruise price per person excludes (mandatory, unless customer provides own): Scuba equipment US$ 146 per week (advised bring your own). Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival.

Optional extras: Alcoholic drinks, torches, dive computer, dive insurance. Unless otherwise stated, all the listed items need to be paid on arrival.

How to get there: Rowley Shoals Marine Park consists a series of coral reefs just under 300 km west of Broome and south of the Timor Sea. There are direct flights to Broome from several of the main cities in Australia (Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth). Check Virgin Australia, Qantas and Air North for details.
Following an informal briefing from a divemaster at the Broome depot at 10:00 hrs, the transfer bus will take you to the boat where you can stow your gear prior to departure. The boat will then depart for an overnight journey to the Rowley Shoals.
The last dive of the trip will be at around 13:00 on the second last day of the trip. Odyssey returns to Broome on the final morning and you will be transferred at 09:00 hrs to a waiting bus that will take you to town or your accommodation. Please wait at least 18 hours before flying after diving.

Diving Environment: Water temperatures vary between 27-30°C / 81-86°F during the Rowley Shoals diving season. You can expect visibility over 20m and sometimes as much as a jaw-dropping 60m. Warm clothes are recommended since mornings and evenings can be cool. These itineraries will feature a combination of lagoons, coral bommies and canyons to be enjoyed via drift dives, night dives and cave dives.

Non-diver rate: None.

Single supplement (if you do not want to share accommodation): This is optional - single travellers may choose to share a cabin or pay a supplement of 50% of the normal published price for their own cabin.

Dive clubs and group discounts: Various discounts are available for groups of 6 up to 20 guests. Please check with us if you have a group inquiry.

Whole boat charter rate (per night): Pay for 17 guests and 3 additional persons can join the cruise in Classic cabins free of charge.
