Washed by the warm waters of the South - West Pacific Ocean the perfect environment is created for the world's largest system of Coral Reefs. The Great Barrier Reef is of such pristine condition that it was listed by the World Heritage Trust as a protected site and is therefore managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Authority to ensure that its beauty is maintained for many generations to come.

DIVE SITES

MILLN REEF: "Whale Bommie" is located 100 metres out from the reef and starts in 25m of water. Small Caves and large gorgonian fans along with hard and soft corals and many, many tropical fish can be found here. The " Swimming Pool " is a shallow dive, 10-12 m offering a a large selection of fish and corals. This is a very nice site for night dives too. 

NORMAN REEF: Almost 80 km's off Cairns, on the very outer edge there are a great variety of fish life, pelagics, turtles, coral gardens, swim throughs, caves and giant clams.
