ABOUT T5

The TUSA 5, affectionately known as T5, was launched in September 2007. Custom designed by Sea Speed Australia and built by New Wave Catamarans in Brisbane, the T5 was specifically designed to be fuel economic, but fast, with exceptional space and comfort. Owners Chris Eade and Phillip Hobbs, with 20 years experience in providing day tours to the Great Barrier Reef, input their knowledge, to ensure diver friendly features and easy access to the water were incorporated into the overall design of the T5.

Since commencing operation the T5 has been favoured by guests for the superior level of comfort provided, and admired by all for her sleek lines and striking appearance.
