With over 35,000km's of magnificent coastline, we have superb diving in the tropical waters of the world renowned Great Barrier Reef and northern Western Australia, as well as brilliant temperate diving in the southern states and Tasmania. Both tropical and temperate marine life are found in the Solitary Islands off northern New South Wales, popular Byron Bay near the Queensland border, and the fabulous Abrolhos Islands on the west coast off Geraldton. Australia offers excellent shipwreck diving on vessels sunk during the 17th century through to recent times. We have the finest freshwater Cave Diving in the world, and huge ocean kelp forrests.
Underwater photography is popular due to prolific marine life.
Each Australian state has something different to offer . Of all the states Queensland rates as the most popular simply because of the Great Barrier Reef. It is one of the natural wonders of the world and the superb diving often overshadows the rest of Australia. The Reef is indeed magnificent, the rest of Australia is just as fascinating. On Rottnest Island Fish and coral life around the island is exceptional.
