Australias best underwater photography spots

Australia is BIG. The GBR alone is 1,400 miles long with more than 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. There are 400 species of hard and soft corals, 4,000 species of molluscs, 1,500 species of fish and 15 types of sea snake. Great whites are found offshore in the cooler southern waters and various expeditions are available to find them. The Northwest coast has guaranteed whale sharks and the leafy sea dragon (a sort of sea horse that looks like a piece of weed) can be found at Jervis Bay near Sydney.
