Underwater on Australia's Great Barrier Reef

By: Kristina Jeffreys

Whether you're an amateur diver, or an experienced one looking for a new challenge, you'll want to visit Australia so that you can dive along the Great Barrier Reef. The Barrier Reef is 1,250 miles long and stretches from New Guinea to Queensland. Diving in this area of the world is an experience that you won't forget since it's filled with the wonder of natural elements combined with some of the most amazing sea creatures of the world.

Over 2000 small reefs come together to be referred as The Great Barrier Reef. The entire great barrier reef is littered with thousands of small islands made of coral. All these islands creating a wonderful spectacle of color and light throughout the ocean.

The water is warm and you will literally swim with the fishes when you dive along the Great Barrier Reef. Don't forget an underwater camera to record all the wonders that you see.

When you arrive in Australia for a dive holiday you'll want to know where to go to get the diving experience that you want. There are many good dive areas that you may want to consider for your vacation.

One of the most popular diving places in Australia is Pixie Pinnacle, which can be found near Lizard Island. Pixie Pinnacle is comprised of a large coral, over ninety feet in height. The types of sea creatures that you'll see on this dive include clownfish, rabbitfish, lionfish, nudibranches, and honfish. If you look out past the Great Barrier Reef you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the Coral Sea.

Cod Hole is another diving location near Lizard Island. The creatures that inhabit that area are moray eels, the Napoleon wrasse, and large schools of cod.

If you want a slightly more active area, consider diving at Yongala Wreck. Head south 200 miles from Cod Hole and you'll discover some of the thickest coral in the Great Barrier Reef. It provides hiding spots for eagle rays, jacks, flowery cod, and the barramundi cod. With luck you'll run into some sea turtles as well.

No matter where you're diving in the Great Barrier Reef make sure that you dive safely and follow marine rules. One of the most important things that you need to remember is that coral is a living animal and therefore needs to be treated with respect. Also keep in mind that both coral and sea animals can be harmed from sand that is displaced from your fin wash, therefore keep an eye on where you're diving at all times.

Don't make it a habit to feed any of the sea animals that you encounter during your dives. As dumb as fish may seem they can become repeat pests when you feed them. This has the potential to make the fish react to all divers in an aggressive manner. You'll be seeing a lot of beautiful coral, shells, and rocks while you're diving. Removing these items will ruin the environment for the animals that live in that area so be sure not to take back any souvenirs of your dive that aren't pictures that you took with your under water camera.
