Keen whalewatchers will make many sightings of pods of Humpback whales passing close by on their annual migration.
Divers are well catered for with dive facilities on the islands and specialised dive boats.
Diving is not confined to the islands with dive sires just offshore, at the Beaufort Bomber wreck, artificial reef and Evans Patch. Learn to dive courses are held regularly so everyone can enjoy the wonders of the reef. As an integral part of the marine ecosystem the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage. Please ensure you play your part in conserving this world class attraction.
