Now time for some good news! The weather in Cairns is just beautiful right now. Warm tropical days with light showers in the evenings. Sea breeze has been down to an average of 10 knots per day, providing comfortable, flat water weather conditions and some fantastic reef diving.

The calm water offers stable boat rides, to and from the reef and relaxed diving on the outer reef walls. Underwater visibility can be up to 20+ meters and down to 15+ meters, depending where you are diving.

These picture perfect conditions are allowing a lot of operators to visit / dive the ‘wild side’ sections of the Outer Great Barrier Reef. What does this mean? The ‘wild side’ is generally the easterly sides of the reefs, where the boats can usually only access for a few days of the year.

Generally, the untouched ‘wild side’ offers a glimpse into the untouched nature of the Great Barrier Reef.

So, what can you expect to see? Turtles are on the move at this time of the year. They will return to the islands and beaches where they were born, to nest and lay their eggs for the next generation to arrive. Sea snakes and Moray eels are also very active in the warmer tropical months of the year.
