The Whitsunday's offer a great variety of Diving. Not only are there the Island fringing reefs but the Great Barrier Reef is only a few hours East.

Here the dive sites are untouched and coral formations are the best Ive seen. We saw an abundance of marine life including Eagle Rays, Sharks and Manta's. July - Sept is Whale season too, so its a great time to be in the water.

Theres a few companies who offer diving trips to the outter reef. Best are the liveaboard boats. 3 days 3 nights is sufficent time to get plenty of dives in. The night diving is something else. Look out for massive Turtles snoozing in crevices and Parrot Fish sleeping in their snot bubbles!

For the non divers, theres also plenty to do, the islands are all beautiful. One of the most famous beaches in the world can be found in the Whitsundays. Whitehaven beach is 9km of pure white silica sand and its breath taking!

Have a Great Trip!!
