From coral cays, to mountainous islands, from the linear ribbon of reefs in the Northern Great Barrier Reef, there is a lifetime of places to explore underwater. So long as the water is warm enough, and there is sunlight, there is likely to be corals of some kind growing on any solid substrate.

The Magical Ribbon Reefs
On the edge of the continental shelf, north from Port Douglas is a linear chain of reefs know as The Ribbons. Steep dropoffs on the windward side, oceanic clear water and an aura of adventure and wilderness make this special area a drawcard for even the most experienced of underwater explorers.
Lizard Island
At the northern end of the Ribbon Reefs, a series of mountainous islands perch not far from the outer reefs. The largest of these is Lizard Island - also home to the renown luxurious Lizard Island Lodge and a world class research station.
Low Isles
Only 8 nautical miles from Port Douglas, this jewel of an island sand cay is visited by several operators each day. Its the perfect spot to snorkel from a beach for your first coral reef exploration, and as an added bonus, there is a remarkable range of undersea life to discover; a wide variety of corals, giant clams, very friendly turtles and remarkable macro (ie small critters) life.
Low Isles underwater
Surprising pockets of unusual underwater life is a feature of the very accessible, yet very beautiful Low Isles.
