I lived over in Queensland (australia) for many years and have had the change to dive 2 or 3 times along the big barrier rief, it was incredible and very hard to discribe!
So many colors, spicies...just thinking of it makes me want to go back!
When i see places like that i am scared stiff of what the polution can and is doing, i remenber the people over there telling me off problems due to it!
It realy is a beautiful place, i have had the luck to go there once and i keep a great souvenir of the place, so much to see....i would of loved to be able to stay longer it all went so fast and i didn't get to see all i had planned to.
I've had the chance to dive there and it stays one of my favorite diving experiences. It's just so beautiful and colored and the water color is amazing. I understand why it has such a big reputation. All diver should find teh time and money to do it at least once
I loved the GBR. It's where i saw the undersurface world in the first time and got so scared that thought about quitting. But thankfully it didn't happen
The GBR belongs to the World Heritage and it's supposed to be guarded and treated accordingly. I was diving with a team that taught us how to protect and care about fishes and corrals around us and it was THEY, who made the biggest impact on us. They are competent and knowledgable instructors who emphasized on the importance of the GBR and made us respect the reef and be careful while diving.
And yes, it's beatuful down there, undescripably fascinating
