What people usually pay
Australia does not use a destination-specific tourism levy or a per-diver marine park tag for Moreton Bay. There is no general entry fee to snorkel or dive in Moreton Bay Marine Park, but you must follow zoning and designated-area rules. If you plan to drive or camp on Moreton Island, permits and bookings are required, and peak-season availability can sell out.
