A long, long time ago, our ancestors decided to swap their gills for lungs, flippers for fingers and their whale song for Wang Chung. While generally regarded as a good move, the love of the ocean has always remained deeply engrained in our DNA. Explore a bit of your watery origins and see a world of life and colour with today's deal. 

See more of the world than you thought possible, without going far from home. Get a mask, snorkel, fin and wetsuit hire for one person from Goat Island Dive & Snorkel for just $15.

Goat Island Marine Reserve is the perfect spot for a day of fun in the water with family and friends. If you can swim and you like fish, you'll love snorkelling. Hop in the water at the beach at Leigh and head towards Goat Island itself. Being completely protected from any fishing, there are plenty of fish and other marine life swimming all around you. Look out for blue maomao, snapper, stingrays and crayfish. They're a curious and friendly bunch so don't be surprised if they get very close. Because you're in the north, the water is also pretty comfortable all year round.
