If you can paddle 200 metres with fins and mask you may be acceptable. My son and I booked what is called a live aboard dive with the Cairns Dive Shop. The boat was called the Kangaroo Explorer(KE). It cost us $ 500 aussie dollars which catered for everything. What we got was a two hour boat transfer to a large catamaran(KE) where we spent two nights and three days. For that we had about 10 dives, eight meals and accomodation. It was value for money and I believe there are similar dive shops for the same cost. Enquire through the internet they will answer your questions. It is also very safe with all the safety procedures now in place. Swimming would be an asset.
