Diving the Great Barrier Reef

Mission Beach is the closest access point to the Great Barrier Reef, which means if your a local or a visitor then take a trip out to the Reef with one of the two local operators, Calypso and Quick Cat. I have a friend who is extremely, and I mean extremely keen to go out on the weekend, she says she needs to do it to retain her sanity. Isn't that a great endorsement for diving the Great Barrier Reef.
