Hello all members.
WOW, Rum Runner has done it again! First off the blocks in 2021, they are offering Nautilus Club Members only another VERY special deal – a 3 night / 3 day Coral Sea Expedition to SE Bogainville Reef on a Live-aboard adventure.
This is SO HOT OFF THE PRESS that you MUST ACT NOW!
Get away for a weekend aboard S.V. Rum Runner, a 66-foot Mono Hull Sailboat with a maximum of 14 divers plus crew.
Considered one of the premium Outer Great Barrier Reef diving locations, Bougainville Reef is a small reef in the Northern Coral Sea surrounded by some amazing dive sites. Its only four kilometres in diameter and lays between other reefs in this remote area.
Wall diving is said to be the name of the game at Bougainville Reef, with walls plunging up to one kilometre that offers exciting diving. Decorating these walls are spectacular corals – giant soft corals, red whip corals, wide gorgonian fans and black coral trees.
Cruising these walls are often large pelagic fish like barracuda, trevally, tuna and mackerel, and often following them are grey reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks and silver-tip sharks. Many caves, gutters and ledges are also found at Bougainville Reef, so take a torch to explore these darker recesses.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this part of the Great Barrier
Reef in an ‘all you can eat’. ‘Open Deck’ dive getaway.
This is a strictly limited offer with only 14 seats available but all seats must be sold for the expedition to run!
Rum Runner allows unguided dives for Nautilus Club members.
