Cairns DiveAbout Us

Cairns Dive is family owned and operated by Richard, Julie and Ethan Johnston. A family of three who love the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns and Queensland. Before Ethan was born, we dived, racking up over 400 scuba dives between us and travelling on every reef tour boat from Cairns, including day trips, island trips and liveaboard trips. After he arrived, we swam and snorkelled. Now he is 10 and a certified Junior Open Water Diver, our reef journey continues. This website is an online portal to the various Great Barrier Reef tours, experiences and destinations in Far North Queensland. We do not own a boat and are not affiliated with any tour operators. We are passionate about providing accurate advice, information and images, about the trips we go on. We hope in reading our stories, you can pick the best Great Barrier Reef tour for your visit. Whether you are a swimmer, snorkeller, scuba diver or someone wanting to learn to dive. There is a place and space for everyone on the Great Barrier Reef.

The Cairns Dive site is just starting. All content, images and video are made by us. When we’re not diving, we’re working and will continue to grow site content in the coming weeks and months.

Team Johnston. Richard. Julie. Ethan.

Want to know a little more about us? Here we go. Julie and Richard are partners in life and business. By day, we run a successful Cairns web design business called RJ New Designs. We write, design, code and develop WordPress websites for business large and small, across the city, state and country. We’ve been doing this since 2005. We’re driven and passionate professionals, who love Cairns, the reef and diving. To share this with others we have created a few sites over the years, starting with Cairns Dive Adventures, which we stepped away from while Ethan was young, but you can still find our stories in the reviews. Our current projects are I Love Cairns and Cairns Dive.
