diving from Cairns and Port Douglas","\u003Cp>From introductory dive experiences to expeditions to remote untouched regions, the Great Barrier Reef offers divers some of the most spectacular scuba diving in the world, with incredible marine life, stunning coral formations, comfortable year round water temperatures and amazing visibility. Cairns and Port Douglas both offer an extensive range of scuba diving opportunities on the Great Barrier Reef, including half-day and full-day trips to nearby reefs, as well as extended dive safaris spending several days at sea. Dive operators typically visit multiple sites during each outing, mooring at stationary pontoons, islands or sand cays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Exploring the outer reefs\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Day-trip dive vessels departing from Cairns and Port Douglas generally head northeast towards the outer shelf reefs where guests can enjoy up to three dives at several different locations. Located approximately 50-kilometres offshore, the most commonly visited reef systems include Agincourt, Opal, and St. Crispin, as well as Milln, Norman, Saxon, Hastings, Flynn, Thetford, and Pellowe. With so many exceptional reefs to be explored, these outer reefs provide more than enough to keep divers occupied for several days, meaning short multiple-day liveaboard safaris also rarely venture further afield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sheltered side of the reef, incredible coral formations have developed along sloping walls and in sheltered bays. The topography is both intricate and impressive, with an array of cracks, crevices and canyons to explore. Brightly coloured parrot fish feed alongside friendly green and hawksbill turtles, while larger resident cod and inquisitive maori wrasse swim right up to divers as they patrol their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diving on the outer walls of the reef bring encounters with schools of barracuda, trevally and fusiliers, grey or white tip reef sharks and the chance to encounter larger rays. Exhilarating drift dives are possible, where divers drop into the main currents where all the action takes place before drifting back into the protected coral gardens. Isolated pinnacles can also be explored, often clouded by anthias and damselfish, and intermittently engulfed by schools of fusiliers being chased by mackerel and trevally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Ribbon Reefs and the Coral Sea\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>It is also possible to embark on longer liveaboard adventures lasting a week or more from both Cairns and Port Douglas.

Both are surrounded by an awe-inspiring natural wonderland with both the world’s oldest surviving tropical rainforest and the largest reef system on the planet on their doorsteps. Within this unparalleled natural amusement park, visitors can explore dramatic gorges and massive cave systems, swim beneath stunning waterfalls, and come face-to-face with all manner of iconic wildlife – from kangaroos and koalas to crocodiles and cassowaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indigenous communities have respected and utilised this region’s natural prosperity for thousands of years, developing a rich and fascinating relationship with their surroundings. But, it wasn’t until the gold rush of the 1870s that the towns of Cairns and Port Douglas began to emerge. Fertile lands encouraged further agricultural development in the early 1900s, while the latter half of the century saw the birth of tourism, spurred by the establishment of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and recognition of several World Heritage sites.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":343,"tabTitle":347,"tabContent":348},"Getting to Cairns and Port Douglas","\u003Cp>Cairns International Airport is served by direct international flights arriving daily from major airports in Singapore, China, Japan, and New Zealand plus selected days of the week from Bali and Papua New Guinea.

Local buses only travel as far north as Palm Cove, but shuttle buses can be arranged at the airport or booked prior to arrival. Most hotels will also arrange transport for their guests at an additional fee. The most popular way to reach Port Douglas is to hire a vehicle, and a wide choice of cars, campervans, and 4WD vehicles are available at the airport and in the city of Cairns.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":343,"tabTitle":350,"tabContent":351},"Where to stay","\u003Cp>Cairns is a relatively small city and the centre is concentrated around the waterfront at the Esplanade, the Marina, and the Cruise Liner Terminal.

The wet season runs from November to March, bringing hot and humid conditions. Average air temperatures range from 24-32°C, with peaks in February, which is when the majority of the region’s rainfall occurs. Winds are generally light during this time and the waters usually calm, though tropical storms are possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wet season subsides, prevailing southeasterly winds return which continue to blow throughout the dry season from April to October. These winds can often blow with force, creating swell until August. During the dry season, Cairns and Port Douglas enjoy average air temperatures between 18-26°C and little rainfall - perfect weather during the high season for visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In June and July, dwarf minke whales congregate in the northern reef section, while humpback whales migrate north along the coast before returning south to Antarctica in late August and into September. Six species of turtles can be found in the region and are present all year, but mating and nesting occurs from November to March, with hatchlings beginning to emerge in early January.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jellyfish season generally lasts from November until May, and whilst the risk of marine stingers on the Great Barrier Reef is low, stinger suits are recommended and available for hire on tour boats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>So when is the best time of year to dive the Great Barrier Reef?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>For the best all-round conditions, and to avoid the busy high season, September, October and November offer plentiful marine life, good visibility and calm sea conditions. At this time of year, liveaboards can sail north to explore the tip of the Cape York peninsula, and visit Raine Island - just in time for the arrival of thousands of breeding turtles. And to top it off, the corals of the Barrier Reef spawn in November.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you would like to encounter a cetacean of two, then June and July is the best time of year.
