Is diving at Green Island the same as the outer reef?
In short, no. The reef systems on the outer reef are closer to the continental shelf, so generally speaking, have better visibility. Maximum depth on the outer reef is generally around 18m (compared to 10m at Green Island) and there is greater dive diversity on the outer reef, in regards to potential for swim throughs etc. That being said, you will see a lot of marine life and corals when diving off Green Island.
