Diving Australia
Three oceans.
The largest reef on Earth.
Australia is an island continent, and its reefs grew up far from any other land. Warm currents run south along both coasts, carrying larvae and nutrients from reef to reef, and the Great Barrier Reef stretches some 2,300 km. The result is marine life you will not find anywhere else.
But the distances are huge, the best reefs lie far offshore and the seasons change from coast to coast. A dive at Ningaloo in May is a very different dive.
