the world's largest reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs
and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an

The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in

Dive The Great Barrier Reef with Cairns Tour Specialists. Imagine you
are scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef four metres below the surface of
the surface.
The water is crystal and
all you can hear is the sound of your bubbles as you slowly exhale.
Under the sea, its peaceful, serene, vibrant and rich in colour. Cairns,
Far North Queensland is home to The Great Barrier Reef. |
| The
Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the
world's biggest single structure made by living organisms.
This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of
tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. This reef supports a
wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage
Site in 1981. CNN labelled it one of the seven natural
wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust named it
a state icon of Queensland. |

A large part of the reef is
protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit
the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism. Other
environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff,
climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic
population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish.
