The Great Barrier Reef is a large system of about 900 islands and over 3000 coral reefs, which mostly lie some distance from the mainland coastline. Due to its vast biodiversity, warm clear waters and its accessibility
from the floating guest facilities called ‘live aboards’, the reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially scuba divers.
