Another one of the amazing creatures you will come across while diving Bait Reef is the Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish are sometimes referred to as the chameleon of the sea because of their remarkable ability to rapidly alter their skin color at will. Cuttlefish change color and light polarisation to communicate to other cuttlefish and to camouflage [...]
The Great Barrier Reef has an endless supply of interesting creatures.
This little guy is a Yellow spotted Box Fish and he seems as interested in our diver as we are in him!
Kiana’s trip on the 4-6 July was one to remember for our Guests. At Bait Reef the whales were everywhere. At a popular dive site, “Mantaray Dropoff “, our snorkellers were joined by two inquistive whales and the scuba divers had the same experience. During the time at Bait Reef the crew counted 30 whales [...]

When most of us first start scuba diving it’s the “awesome” stuff that strikes us and dominates our diving stories. Sharks, Manta-rays, Sea Turtles, Maori Wrasse are the centres of our conversations.
But as our diving experience matures we start to notice that the small creatures are much more extensive, diverse and interesting.
One of the most [...]
After a leisurely breakfast at Beaches Backpackers and a little last minute shopping around Airlie Beach, we arrived at the dock in the afternoon. The crew were all smiles as they welcomed us on board and we set off sailing! After quite an entertaining run down about living on board and what to expect during the trip [...]
Winter in the Whitsundays is a truly magical time. Warm days, clear skies, no threat of rain to spoil days spent gently yachting around the pristine islands. Winter also brings a few extra surprises, some friends from down south, a certain elite group known as the “Megaptera Novaeangliae”. This group create quite the spectacle for [...]
