Diving in Australia and on the Great Barrier Reef is an experience most divers have dreamed about, but few take the opportunity. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Australian portion of the reef extending from Lizard Island above Port Douglas down through the Whitsunday Islands offers |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world. |
