Barrier Reef & Coral Sea Overview

The great barrier reef stretches over 2000 km from near Papua New Guinea to Rockhampton on the Australian coast. Listed as a world heritage site, the reefs offer endless exploration for interested parties. Further east of the Barrier Reef lies the Coral Sea where atolls rise from depths of 1000 meters to the surface. These reefs which are only visited by the occassional divers have huge wall dives, untouched coral reefs and the largest examples each species has to offer. (Although not the same prolific numbers as other reefs).
