The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the world and with its shimmering coral coves, gin coloured waters and underwater gardens teeming with rich marine life, it’s not hard to see why. Every year travellers come from all corners of the far flung globe to bask in the rare beauty of Australia’s national treasure.  Many people chose to snorkel, to sail or even to drift above the reefs on a hot air balloon but there is only one way to make the most of this tropical water playground that stretches for miles and that is with Great Barrier Reef scuba diving.

Warm Waters with Pristine Vision

Nothing can compare to letting the warm waters close over your head as you sink down to the sea bed and discover drifting mantra, giant stingrays, scores of tropical fish flitting between your feet and blooming coral gardens. Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef can be perfect for novices and experts with a range of pristine locations delivering exceptional visibility, nocturnal dives and even wall dives for those who want to cling to the edge of the underwater world.

The Best of the Underwater Worlds

The Osprey Reef is one of the best dive sites in the whole world and a must see when it comes to Great Barrier Reef scuba diving. The blooming soft coral trees, scuttling crabs and rainbow runners greet you as soon as you sink down. Yet those divers wanting to see serious shark action can paddle their way to North Horn to see silver tips, reef sharks and morays.

Agincourt Reef is another must explore spot in the Great Barrier Reef. A handful of major attractions can be found along this stretch of coral such as Point Break, Fish Bowl and the Three Sisters. With cathedral like underwater canyons, narrow passages and climbing towers you are sure to be awed. Watch for clownfish, lionfish, barracuda and even drifting green sea turtles.

Charter Tours and Sunsets

One of the best ways to indulge in scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef is to choose a Great Barrier Reef Liveaboard Tour that will charter you to a selection of the very best dive sites scattered across the reef. Imagine waking in the morning, indulging in breakfast on board with sea views at every turn. With a Scuba tour of the Great Barrier Reef you can spend the afternoons plunging into blissful blue beauty and evenings watching glistening sunsets stream their colours across the waters.
