Whitsundays scuba diving boats

A once-in-a-lifetime experience has to be scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. But why not take it a step further and combine this experience with an overnight sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands? Thats right, the Whitsundays offers a number of trips which have onboard scuba diving around the islands which promises an amazing experience with so much more to see and explore below the surface. Even if you have never dived, the Whitsundays are the perfect location to try it with sheltered warm waters and a huge array of marine life, including turtles, wrasse, rays and colourful fish, as well as the beautiful coral formations.
