Australia
has over 20,000 kilometers (12,420 miles) of magnificent
coastline, with superb diving in the tropical waters of
the Great Barrier Reef and northern Western Australia, as
well as brilliant temperate-water diving in the southern
states and Tasmania. Of all the states, however, Queensland
rates as the mecca for Australian divers and overseas visitors.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of
the world and the diving here is excellent.
