| Underwater on Australia's Great Barrier Reef |
By:

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.
The Great Barrier Reef is a thing of beauty in its own
right. It is actually composed of more than 2,000 smaller
reefs, and coral islands intermingle as you travel through
the reef. The colors and lights will amaze you.
The Great Barrier Reef is the home to many sea animals and
the fascinating sea creatures. The spectacular experience
can only be captured on an under water camera where you get
the lifetime opportunity to diving in these warm waters and
get a front seat view of fish swimming among the coral.
There are many diving areas in the region, so when you
reach Australia, you will want to consider which sites are
right for your vacation diving experience.
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.
Another well known diving spot in Australia is Cod Hole,
which can also be found near Lizard Island. Sea animals
common to this area are the moray eel, the Napoleon wrasse,
and large groups of cod.
For a diving site that is livelier with sea creatures you
might want to head to Yongala Wreck. You can find this
diving spot south from Cod Hole by 200 miles. The coral in
this area of the Great Barrier Reef is thick, making it a
great hiding place for eagle rays, jacks, flowery cod, and
the barramundi cod. If you're lucky you may be able to see a
turtle or two.
Irrespective of your diving spot, it is imperative that you
follow all marine rules and dive safely. An important fact
to remember is that coral is a living animal and therefore
needs to be treated with respect. Additionally, the sand
that is displaced from your fin wash can harm both coral and
sea animals. Therefore, as a good diving practice, you must
always keep an eye on where dive.
Another important point to remember is not to feed the
animals you run
into on your dives. We tend to think of fish as
unintelligent, but they can form habits of expecting food
any time they see a diver. Soon they will become aggressive
toward all divers. As far as souvenirs from the water, take
plenty of pictures. Don't ruin the environment by removing
any coral, rocks, or shells.
