A tourist has died after a snorkelling trip went wrong at Moore Reef yesterday.

The British man had been on a day tour with Reef Magic Cruises to the popular Great Barrier Reef site, about 40kms from Cairns, when he died suddenly at around 12.30pm.

It’s believed the man, in his 50s, was just metres from the Pontoon when the incident occurred.

A spokesperson from Reef Magic Cruises was unavailable for comment when contacted by Newsport. Investigations are continuing into the incident.
