Great Barrier Reef on a BUDGET
The Great Barrier Reef is an expensive place to visit, and many operators will not take you to the beautiful parts of the reef, some even visit dead areas. This is my guide to visiting the best parts of the Great Barrier Reef on a budget!
The video is broken down by skill level, time and money and I hope this helps you plan your trip to the GBR, or travel though Cairns, Australia!
Falla Reef Cruises was the first trip I recommended, catered to beginner snorkellers and first time divers. Its a great day on an old wooden sailing boat, and visits some okay parts of the reef! It's also extremely affordable! The cheapest i've seen from any of the boats out of Cairns.
Cairns Dive Centre is a more commercial trip than Falla, but it specialises in first time diving, and basically guarantees scuba diving with nemo. The reef is decent, and for first time divers and snorkellers it will impress you! Its a great day! The boat also visits a secluded sand island on the way home!
If you have been snorkelling or diving before, or you're after some of the best reefs and marine life that Australia has to offer, you will want to visit Miln Reef. Coral Sea Dreaming is my favourite operator out of cairns and offers one of the most interactive and incredible expeditions to this beautiful part of the world. The Reef quality here will blow your mind, no matter your experience level!
Passions of Paradise also offer a day trip here, while the sites are the same/ similar, you will miss out on the morning, afternoon and night dive - and you as it is a more commercial operator you will not get the 'expedition feel' that Coral Sea Dreaming provides. BUT: The diving and snorkelling is incredible!
If you do have your Advanced Open Water Certification or higher and you have a week to spare, definitely volunteer on Mike Ball Dive Expeditions! This is where David Attenborough would go. Its also where most of the GBR documentaries are filmed. This is a week long trip and it's entirely FREE if you volunteer. I can't recommend this option enough.
Anyways hope you enjoyed!

Coral Spawning 2011 - Deep Sea Divers Den - Cairns - Great Barrier Reef
In 1981, Australian researchers on the Great Barrier Reef stumbled across an amazing natural phenomenon. All of a sudden, millions of tiny cells began spewing out of the living corals. They poured into the water column like champagne bubbles, floating to the surface and forming a thick, pink 'slick'.
The researchers had witnessed coral spawning.

Diving on board Ocean Quest with Divers Den
In the last weekend of March 2019, I got to stay on the Ocean Quest vessel from Divers Den. 2 days/1 night of diving was ahead of me and the Great Barrier Reef delivered. Included in this short video are the highlights of the trip.
Also, this was the first time ever that I did a Fluro Dive. It's nothing like I have ever experienced during a night dive. My buddy said: it's better than doing drugs The video doesn't quite capture how surreal it was. And as Divers Den is the only company who offer this on the Great Barrier Reef, it is worth the shot!
