Great Barrier Reef diving trips are world renowned and with this
recognition are extremely popular, attracting a whole abundance of
divers, from the inexperienced to professionals, who want to witness the
beauty of the reef for themselves. The pristine waters create the
perfect diving conditions and provide optimum visibility for both divers
and snorkeller's on the reef. Great Barrier Reef diving trips and
Great barrier reef snorkeling excursions are truly unforgettable
experiences.
The vivid underwater landscapes of the Great Barrier
Reef are truly awe-inspiring. The large coral fans, soft coral gardens
and hard corralled walls will take your breath away with their bright
colours and marine inhabitants. Green turtles, Stingrays, dolphins,
giant clams, vibrant starfish and anemone clown fish, of Finding Nemo
fame, all call the reef home. The abundance of tropical marine life is
truly staggering and diving in this underwater world is a somewhat
surreal but truly magical experience.
Diving trips down under can
cater to both beginners and those who are already experienced divers and
range from day catamaran trips to live aboard cruises. Live aboard
cruises combine diving in the famous natural landmark with stop offs at
some of the Great Barrier Reefs tropical islands, the most famous being
the collection of Whitsunday Islands and Green Island. Day trips also
schedule time to stop off at these paradisal locations. Whitehaven
beach found in the Whitsunday's has been hailed as the world's most
beautiful beach and its soft white sands are so refined they feel more
like icing sugar than they do sand.
There are perfect view points
which overlook Whitehaven Beach and from them you can see the
spectacular views out over the ocean. The turquoise waters merging with
the white sandy shores create truly spectacular patterns which never
fail to strike visitors with their beauty. Green Island is famously
unique because it is the only island on the Reef with an inland
rainforest. Exploring the rainforest, lying on the pure white beach or
snorkeling in the sea is a perfect way to spend the afternoon on this
secluded island in Great Barrier Reef.
