June 2008 - I have recently returned from a month of diving exploration at Marion Reef in the remote Coral Sea and some great dive buddies come along for the trip also. Read below what they had to say about the diving out at Marion Reef, Coral Sea.

Dive Nomad is opening up for sport divers some of the best reef systems in the Coral Sea.  Marion Reef is remote, meaning it has not seen the boat, diving and fishing traffic that the inner reefs have suffered with.  The diving here is pristine, with amazing visibility, often over 50m, and some of the best big fish encounters you will ever have.  ‘The Cinema’ is easily one of the best ten dive sites in Australia, with bigeye trevally being rounded up by forty or more grey reef whalers, over a dozen dogtooth tuna, with silvertip sharks and barracuda hanging around the edge.  Grouper Alley, Double Reef, and ABC Reef have all consistently produced sharks and other big fish encounters.  And it will only get better as new sites are found.  This reef is also the best place I have seen for sea snakes, and offers a real chance of seeing pelagic species such as marlin and sailfish in the water.  If you are interested in pristine reef and big fish, then you should seriously consider a dive trip here.  The crew are very professional, and it is a boat you might find yourself returning to again and again as they open up remote areas such as Wreck Reef and Kenn Reef.  This is an adventure dive trip worth booking on! Bring your cameras!

"The Marion Reef trip to me was very special....The reason being that it is becoming rarer and rarer to find places that are relatively untouched by man, areas which still remain pristine and beautiful.
The remote location has made Marion Reef a rarely dived reef making every dive full of huge excitement. When we were there the visibility was fantastic although the surface conditions weren't great. At best it would have been 50+m and at worst it would have been 20m!
The biodiversity was stunning with fantastic coral growth, lots of pelagics and more sea snakes than I have ever encountered!
Marion strikes me as a place that you could jump in the water and see a Minke Whale, Whale Shark or a School of Mantas or all of them on one dive...
Flying out to the reef is a fantastic experience too, no more long sea crossings!!!!"

'Thanks for a great trip from "the divers", dived some wonderful sites and enjoyed the company of some interesting "fisho's". The boat, the crew and the food were all excellent".
