Explore Australia’s best dive sites

Home to the most famous dive destination on the planet, the Great Barrier Reef, Australia offers unsurpassed and endless dive opportunities. Though the colorful, vibrant, life-filled coral reefs of the Coral Sea are what draw divers here in droves every year, this entire continent/country/island nation is surrounded by water on all sides, creating unending diving possibilities. After diving to your heart’s content on the Great Barrier Reef of Queensland, head to Western Australia to dive alongside whale sharks and manta rays. Australia’s north coast is home to the famous dugong and the rare flatback sea turtle. For a completely different dive experience, head south to the Great Australian Bight, an incredibly biodiverse region filled with immense kelp forests teeming with life.
