Scuba diving in Australia means getting up close and personal with the world’s ultimate coral reef – the Great Barrier Reef. Located off the Northeast Coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is perhaps one of the world’s most well known scuba dive sites. There are day-boat scuba diving operations and live-aboard scuba diving boats that dive the Great Barrier Reef, so no matter what your scuba diving preference, there is something for every scuba diver.

Australia’s north eastern town of tropical Cairns is the gateway for two of the world`s greatest scuba diving icons, the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea . The Great Barrier Reef is a broad chain of 2,900 individual reefs and is the Earth`s largest structure built by living organisms, being clearly visible from space. It is an ecosystem of unsurpassed marine diversity and presents the scuba diver with a vision of exquisite natural beauty. Beyond the continental shelf that harbours the GBR, lie the isolated reef systems and crystal clear waters of Australia`s Coral Sea . This is home territory for huge schools of pelagic fish and sharks in an undersea world of mountains, pinnacles and sheer walls laced with gorgonian fans and rising from thousands of feet below.

Be prepared for an amazing range of diving experiences on your 4 day /4 night adventure to Australia`s Coral Sea . Your first day will include a couple of orientation dives on the outer reefs of the Great Barrier Reef before traveling out to the oceanic wilderness of the Coral Sea . To the south east, east and north east of Cairns and at least 100km offshore from the Great Barrier Reef , lie Australia`s Coral Sea Reefs. Spirit of Freedom will travel to two Coral Sea Reef systems for 3 days of diving which can include South Flinders, Flinders, Dart, East Holmes, West Holmes, Flora, Bouganville, Shark, and Osprey Reefs. Destinations will vary and be selected according to the prevailing weather in order to provide you the best diving, most comfortable conditions and maximum dive time For those with a little more time, the 7 day itinerary offers a fabulous combination of the two trips – the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea .
