Большой Барьерный риф (ББР) — одна из самых больших систем коралловых рифов во всем мире. Он состоит из 2 900 отдельных рифов и 900 островов, растянувшихся на 2 600 километров по территории около 344 400 кв. км. Риф располагается в Коралловом море, вблизи северной границы материка. Он настолько велик, что его можно заметить даже из космоса — это самое большое в мире образование, созданное живыми организмами. На севере он почти непрерывен и расположен всего в 50 км от берега Австралии, а на юге распадается на группы из отдельных рифов, в некоторых местах отступая от берега на 300 км. Именно сюда как пчёлы на мёд слетаются дайверы всего мира.

Риф состоит из миллиардов коралловых полипов — мельчайших микроорганизмов. CNN присвоила рифу звание одного из чудес света, а в 1981 году Большой Барьерный риф был признан объектом мирового наследия. Сказочный подводный мир коралловых островов притягивает миллионы туристов со всего света, однако он невероятно хрупок и беззащитен: к примеру, даже при повышении воды на один градус редкие водоросли и коралловые полипы начинают гибнуть. Поэтому правительство Австралии выработало специальные требования к посещению этой зоны: к примеру, во время подводной экскурсии нельзя касаться рифов руками, а разбивать палатки можно только на специально отведенных для этого островах.

Самые дорогие и фешенебельные острова-курорты Большого Барьерного рифа — это Бедарра и Хайман. Дайвингом можно и нужно заниматься на островах Херон, Магнетик и Лизард. А острова Данк, Гамильтон, Фрейзер, Брамптон и Кеппел сочетают в себе и отличный пляжный отдых, и дайвинг, и развлечения, и поездки на экскурсии, и многие другие прелести курортной жизни.

The reef is located in the Coral Sea, near the northern border of the continent. He is so great that it can be seen even from space - is the world's largest education created by living organisms. In the north, it is almost continuous, and is located just 50 km from the coast of Australia, and to the south is divided into groups of individual reefs, in some places, retreating from the coast 300 km. It is here as bees to honey flock divers around the world.

The reef is composed of billions of coral polyps - tiny microorganisms. CNN awarded reef title of one of the wonders of the world, and in 1981 the Great Barrier Reef was declared a World Heritage Site. Fabulous underwater world of coral islands attracts millions of tourists from all over the world, but it is incredibly fragile and defenseless: for example, even with an increase in water by one degree rare algae and corals begin to die. Therefore, the Australian Government has developed special requirements to visit this area: for example, during an underwater reef tours do not touch hands, and break the tent only on specially designated islands.

The most expensive and luxurious island resorts Great Barrier Reef - Bedarra it and Hyman. Diving can and should be engaged in the islands Heron and Lizard Magnetic. And Dunk Island, Hamilton, Fraser, Brampton and Keppel combine and a great beach vacation and diving, and entertainment, and travel on the tour, and many other delights of the resort life.
