More diving spots on The Great Barrier Reef

The most famous sites to dive the reef are the Ribbon Reefs, Dynamite Pass, Pixi Pinnacles and Cod Hole, though Great Detached Reef and Mantis Reef, known for their sharks, manta rays and green turtles, are also great sites.

The Northern Reefs have the greatest diversity of marine life, but you can dive and snorkel all over. Milne Reef offers vertical walls, Thretford Reef offers sand cay, walls, coral gardens and small caves and Michaelmas Cay is home to huge numbers of fish and a breeding ground for sea birds.

The Great Barrier Reef supports 10,000 different species of sponge, 350 species of coral and 1,500 types of fish. There is literally something for everyone.
