Cuttlefish at Bait Reef

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!

Our 20th Anniversary on Kiana

Rob and I had a fantastic trip and celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary aboard the Kiana.

Thank you very much for all of your help booking the Kiana for my family and me for the sailing on December 25th. We had an absolutely amazing time. It was actually the highlight of our 3 1/2 week trip for me. I was sad to not be able to meet [...]

Don't Miss the Small Stuff

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 [...]

Sailing Adventures on Emperors Wings

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 [...]

Colgate Pearly White Sand and Ginorgarous Sea Creatures

Needless to say our expectations were high but got blown out of [...]
