one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer
space, but its real beauty can only be seen by exploring it up close. Discover the thirty species
of whales, dolphins and porpoises, as well as the 1,500 species of fish, as part of your
Whitsunday Islands getaway on an

diving before, there are lessons available for beginners, teaching the basics and taking you on
your first scuba diving adventure.
With exciting opportunities for beginner and advanced divers, there’s something for everyone on a
