Tropical North Queensland Diving

Station yourself in Cairns to explore the exciting Flynn Reef, the perfect place for finding Nemo and an abundance of marine life. Large fish species, such as dogtooth tuna, mackerel, and barracuda, are frequent guests at the reef, as are a range of colourful fish like the coral cod, butterflyfish, parrotfish, anemone fish, wrasse, rabbitfish, and sweetlips. Shark species, mostly whitetip reef sharks, are seen here too.

Another well-known dive site out of Cairns is The Cod Hole. This is one of the most famous dive sites in the world, thanks to the giant potato cod fish that live here! These giant friendly fish don’t hesitate to approach you.

The Ribbon Reefs stretch along the north coast and most of the reef out from Port Douglas is made up of them. North-east of Port Douglas, Agincourt Reef comprises several small ribbon reefs and is situated along the very edge of the Great Barrier Reef Continental Shelf. Home to some of the most vibrant, colourful, and unique aquatic life in the world, this is a sought-after diving spot for good reason. Expect frequent visits from sharks, stingrays, turtles, whales, groupers, cods, Maori wrasse, and parrotfish.
