Know how the day runs
SeaQuest combines a reef day trip with transfers for the OceanQuest liveaboard. Expect an approximately 30-minute stop alongside OceanQuest to move passengers between vessels; it is part of the operating itinerary.
For day guests, snorkel equipment, a Lycra suit, instruction and a guided snorkel tour are included. Water access is from the lowered rear deck and ladders, with flotation aids available. A hot and cold buffet lunch, refreshments and chilled water are also provided.
This is a practical choice for confident swimmers who want two reef locations and understand the transfer stop. There is no glass-bottom boat or semi-submersible; the reef activities take place in open water.
