Dive Adventures on the Great Barrier Reef
Why dive here
With 154+ marine species recorded in the area - including hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, tiger sharks and napoleon wrasse - Dive Adventures on the Great Barrier Reef offers some of Great Barrier Reef's richest reef diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest January, February, March.
The Great Barrier Reef, a name that evokes dreams of underwater spectacles, certainly delivers. On a trip out here, we’ve found the healthy reefs are home to a good mix of everything, from green turtles cruising lazily past to those surprisingly energetic schooling fusiliers. Keep an eye out for humpbacks from June to September; their songs are something else even when you’re underwater. It’s a great pick for both newer divers finding their fins and those with more dives under their belt looking for a reliable, well-rounded experience.
