Australia, Far East & Australia

Ask anyone about diving in Australia and they’ll immediately think of the Great Barrier Reef. It is the largest coral reef in the world and the only living structure visible from space. It runs some 2000 miles along the Queensland coast approximately 12 miles from the mainland. Dive the best Ribbon Reef sites including Pixie Pinnacles and Lighthouse Bommie plus the world famous Cod Hole where you dive with giant Potato Cod the size of a diver ! The long trip out to the remote Coral Sea is well worth the effort with pristine reefs, great visibility and lots of big pelagics. Osprey Reef and North Horn are a focal point for shark spotters.
