    GBR - reef health

    I dove the GBR in 2014 with Mike Ball and loved it, but only did a short trip since I was a newbie diver. I'd really like to go back for a longer trip, but I'm worried about the reef health. Fwiw, the reports we get in the US and via word of mouth says that half the reef has died. Asia is a long...

    Help a Newbie get the Most out of the Great Barrier Reef -- Liveaboard? Spirit of Freedom? ProDive?

    Hey all, I have a trip booked to visit Australia this November. It was fairly sudden and I will be traveling / diving solo. One of the primary motivating factors for me was -- of course -- the GBR. I decided to follow my dreams and finally get my certification. Unfortunately, the earliest OW...

    Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef - Cairns

    Hi everyone. As you may be aware Australia has opened its international borders into the states of New South Wales which is Sydney & the state of Victoria which has Melbourne as the landing destination. You don't need to quarantine if you are fully vaccinated which is great. From these two...

    Diving Hamilton Island / Whitsundays area

    Heading to Hamilton Island and the Great Barrier Reef next month. Although, I’m noticing a lot of dive companies only offering snorkel at the moment and that their diving is unavailable until further notice. Is it a COVID thing? Managed to find one way to scuba (from the Reefworld pontoon), but...

    Update Cairns GBR diving resuming

    Like everywhere else we have been doing it tough here in Cairns and just thought I would post a quick update to show a bit of optimism :) We really want to show support for the operators and their crews, and show them a light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously travel restrictions still apply...

    How bad are the jellyfish/cyclones on the Great Barrier Reef in March?

    We've set up a 7 day liveaboard on Spoilsport (Coral Sea, Ribbon Reefs, Lizard Island, Bougainville Reef & Osprey Reef) for mid-March. I've read that this is both jellyfish and cyclone season. What precautions would you expect to have to take against jellyfish at this time of year? How bad are...

    Hi there, We're planning the 7 day Spoilsport "Coral Sea Safari" that goes to Cod Hole, Lizard Island, Ribbon Reefs, Osprey Reef & Bougainville Reef. We have 60+ dives over the past 12 years or so, but it will be our first live-aboard so I hope a 7 day trip isn't too ambitious. I've also...

    Hello. My husband and I are looking to volunteer on the Great Barrier Reef in late Nov/early December. I have an open water certification, but really prefer to work on skills for a while because I dive maybe one time a year. There are a few projects that seem great for me in Cairns, but not so...
