HABA began in 1986 as Coral Sea Diving Services and was purchased in 1989 by a Japanese cosmetics company Health And Beauty Aids (HABA). By 1992 HABA was 100% Australian owned and operated and remains so today. With a solid reputation in the tourism industry as a professional and friendly organization the business has continued to trade as HABA. Since 1998 HABA has been owned by Port Douglas locals, husband & wife team Bruce Funch & Josann Reynolds. Bruce & Josann had spent the previous 4½ years living aboard their own 48 foot vessel diving & cruising New Guinea, The Solomon Islands and Australia's Great Barrier Reef. It was their eagerness to share this incredible underwater paradise that led them into the marine tourism industry. HABA's widespread mark of distinction in a market of many is for its' Multiple-Award winning hands-on customer service and friendliness, a benchmark our staff & crew strive to achieve each day. Over the years with knowledge & experience the HABA day has continued to evolve & improve. Taking the best from all of the information gleaned HABA is proud to offer its ultimate vessel "Evolution" as the transport to take you on a journey certain to be one of the most memorable experiences of your lifetime.
