This company provides snorkelling tours and scuba dive in Cape Byron Marine Park - Nguthungulli Julian Rocks Marine Sanctuary all year round. During winter, they organise Whale Watching tours - the only ones departing directly from Byron Bay.

They hold a permit from the NSW government for scientific research within the park. Their focus is on sea turtles, especially the Loggerhead turtles, as they are close to extinction locally. They run citizen science and conservation workshops with the aim of collecting sea turtle photographs for photo-identification of individuals and population monitoring.
