Diving The Great Barrier Reef has always been on the bucket list for so many people over the years. It’s with good reason too, in a few words, it’s simply AMAZING! The warm water, spectacular fish life, diverse coral and colourful fish species make for an ecosystem that leaves many in awe. The year-round diving options make it such a distinct location. Even if the weather’s not perfect, it’s possible to find protected areas to dive within the reef. For this reason (unless your a surfer) North Queensland is such a great place to enjoy the ocean. The Great Barrier Reef offers so much protection from the swell giving better visibility for divers.

The Whitsundays took a battering from cyclone Debbie in March 2017 and the reef was no exception. Since that time a lot of recovery has taken place and the reef is bouncing back better than ever. A big community effort has been committed to rejuvenating the local reef and the results are showing. New reef culturing projects have been in place for some time which is proving to be successful.

To complement this work an exciting new project has been established in the Whitsundays. Six underwater sculptures have been created and placed locally around the islands with 1 planned for Bowen. These sculptures will be easily accessible for the enjoyment of locals and tourists. The sculptures will be easier to access than the reef and can be enjoyed by divers, snorkelers or even from a boat on lower tides. The new installation of the underwater art sculptures is an exciting project that will be a major drawcard for those who love art and the ocean. Underwater art has been a growing trend proving a popular tourist attraction. Several artists have provided the designs which include Manta Rays, Maori Wrasse and a giant turtle.

There are many tour guides equipped to find the best dive locations around the Whitsundays but it pays to research. If you stay with Whitsunday Vacations you’ll have the benefit of local knowledge and advice to find the right guide for you.

Whitsunday Waterfront Luxury at 19 The Cove
We had a fantastic stay at the cove. Everything was perfect and the accomodation had the wow factor when we walked in. The hosts were quick to call if we had a question, although we had very few questions as everything was so straight forward. We also really appreciated the hosts heating the pool for our arrival.The accomodation is in a perfect spot- a quick walk into the Main Street and far enough away that there is lovely peace and quiet. Coffee shops and restaurants are about 3 minute walk away which was perfect ( although the house was so nice we ate in quite a lot). I will definitely book this place again. Thanks to the hosts for helping me show my overseas guests how fab Australia is.😁

Whitsunday living on Hillcrest by the Beach
Perfect location to explore Airlie Beach — walkable to everything, including the meeting points for boat excursions. The house was exactly as described and pictured—plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out. All rooms have great views. The kitchen that opens to the terrace is fantastic. The pool isn’t very private, but still great to cool off. Overall a great stay!
