The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the first name on the list of the best dive sites in Australia that Toplist has compiled for you. Many people say that the Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's best diving destinations and a must-see on any trip to Queensland. Take a flight to Cairns to see everything this amazing reef system has to offer. When it comes to scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, you will be spoilt for choice with its 1400 miles of coastline and thousands of individual reefs. There is something for every diver, from coral-encrusted pinnacles and shark dives to encounters with friendly dwarf minke whales.

You can spend a few days on a liveaboard to explore the remote outer reefs or sign up for a day boat trip to snorkel or dive the nearby reefs. In any case, make sure to include a scenic flight over the mountains.
