  Extended Diving on the Great Barrier Reef

Diving on The Great Barrier Reef is quite simply about 2 things:

Weather and Permits

When I grew up here in the early 70's there was only 10 000 residents and 1 or 2 boats going to the reef.

The middle reefs 2 hrs off the Cairns coastline now attracts over 700 000 visitors a year.

All vessels must have a permit to visit the reef. Some have much better permits than others. Others travel 100's of kilometres to the ribbon reefs to remote locations which offer the best diving experiences.
