What’s In It?
The riders can book their ride using the Uber app, which will then transport them to the island followed by a one hour unforgettable, underwater experience in the ScUber Submarine.
The passengers will be maximum taken to a depth of 30 m (which is the depth reached by advance level scuba divers) where they can marvel at the untouched beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.
What’s More?
The best part about this magical underwater experience is that it does not have any negative impact on the reef. The submarine is battery powered and carries 3 passengers, i.e. 2 riders and the pilot.
