If you ever hear someone say they want to dive in Australia, they are usually referring to scuba diving at Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef. The Reef is the world’s largest and healthiest coral reef system.
The Great Barrier Reef is the only living structure on earth that can be seen from outer space. The Great Barrier Reef is made up of nearly 2900 individual reefs, 600 continental islands, and 300 coral cays. Therefore, it is the world’s largest single structure comprised of living organisms.
There is a wide range of dive sites along the Great Barrier Reef; there are calm, protected, shallow spots around the islands, perfect for first-timers. Also, there are gentle reef sites, rich in fish life and corals and the deeper sites on the outer reefs for those with some experience.
If you are a certified Scuba diver or a snorkeler, the Great Barrier Reef has some of the best ocean life in the world. If you never have Scuba dived before, the Great Barrier Reef offers some great places to learn to Scuba dive. The Great Barrier Reef is the world renowned for its amazing scuba diving locations. Bommies, coral reefs and an abundance of marine life stretch for the entire 2,300km length of the reef.
All sites are best reached by boat ranging from luxury cruisers to spectacular sailboats. For those visitors who have never put their head under the water, but want to see if they can enjoy snorkeling or diving, there are excellent one-day, first-time dive trips.
