lets take a dive


Able to be seen from outer space, the Great Barrier Reef is the worlds largest reef system. It is composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometers (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi), making it the worlds biggest single structure of living organisms. The Great Barrier Reef is located in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland in Northeast Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life, including many Vulnerable species and Endangered species some of which may be endemic to the reef system. Many animals rely on this reef to make their home and to breed, and without it, some species will dissipate.
The things you will see here are a once in a life time thing, for they might not always be there. It is indeed, a place where you should go before you die.
