Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea. They provide more oxygen to the earth’s atmosphere than the amazon rainforest! The health of the reef is inextricably linked to our own. Healthy coral reefs are delicate yet resilient; an intricate and intertwined reef ecosystem supports a myriad of life.

The Southern Great Barrier Reef dive sites are amongst those places that will make you want to hover in complete stillness as you watch the underwater world drift on by. Of course you’ve got to be lucky, but if you want a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a pod of humpback whales, trains of mantas, schools of trevally and barracuda, even the odd hammerhead and great white shark, this is the place for your next adventure!

Want to experience nature at its absolute best: pure and untouched? Some of the most rarely visited reefs are in your backyard. They are healthy, thriving and ready to envelop you in a trance of wonder and awe. Don’t take our word for it, come see for yourself!
