It’s that time of the year again- The great barrier reefs most sexy night!
✨Coral Spawning✨
This once-a-year synchronised phenomenon is where multiple species of reef-building corals release s***m and eggs over several days following the full moon. These float to surface and fertilise, developing into coral larvae, some of which go onto settle on the reef and begin to grow, eventually creating new coral colonies.

Few experiences in life are as memorable as spending night after night diving on the reef, waiting for this spectacle, and then finally witnessing the burst of life firsthand.. we all had goosebumps, and not because of the cold water!

At first glance, feather stars look like plants. They have branching appendages, feathery arms in multiples of five as you will, that billow from a central point, looking a bit like a potted fern. Don't let this appearance fool you, this is an animal belonging to the family (the phylum, to be correct) of echinodermata. You surely heard of sea stars and maybe even brittle stars, sea urchins and sea cucumbers and this is their feathery cousin. The term means "spiny skinned".
Father Stars have been around for a long long time, in fact they first appeared in the fossil record 300 million years ago. Yes, that's before the dinosaurs.
You can see them clinging onto the reef or crawling along the coral stone using their little legs called cirri. If you're really lucky, you can see one swim for a short distance, a rather rare event to witness and absolute mesmerising to watch.

Come out for a snorkel safari or dive with us and see father stars up close!

Reef Safari Diving Australia is wishing Reef Safari Diving Fiji a HAPPY FIJI DAY!! 🇫🇯

Fiji Day is a national holiday in Fiji that commemorates the country's independence from British colonial rule on October 10, 1970. It is celebrated to honor Fijian culture, heritage, and the unity of its people.
It is a day where the past is honored, the present celebrated, and the future embraced with hope and unity.

Many of our Australian team members have visited Fiji over the years and some even go and work with our Fijian Teams on Barefoot Kuata Island , Barefoot Manta Island , South Sea Island , Intercontinental Resort and Shangri-La Resort.

The spirit of ‘vei lomani’ – caring for each other – is at the heart of these cultural exchanges, embodying the communal warmth and hospitality that Fijians are known for.
We say a big Vinaka vakalevu! (Thank you!) to our Fijian colleagues and hope they have a wonderful Fiji Day 2024!

Future career day kids! Today we are presenting the surgeon fish, also known as Doctorfish. They are one of the most educated and best paid fish in the ocean. 😉

The Yellowfin Surgeonfish (Acanthurus xanthopterus) are found in schools, over sand slopes of deep protected bays, lagoons, and outer reefs - like our Hardy Reef. They feed on filamentous algae (the bright green stuff that looks like grass), detritus, pieces of fish, and hydroids. They are often curious towards boats and divers and love to hang out around our snorkel platform or follow our photographers around. Juveniles are found over surge zones of protected inshore waters.

Surgeonfish have a blade-like spine in the tail that points outwards when bent, these are used for defence and are as sharp as a surgeons scalpel, hence the name "Surgeonfish".
Careful! Some species are venomous.

For more incredible facts about marine life, come along on one of our famous Snorkel Safaris! Book your trip with Cruise Whitsundays , one of the largest companies that offers day trips to the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach. Interested in learning to guide Snorkel Safaris yourself?

You might know Manchester for its football legends, but this incredible scuba dive instructor is putting the city on the map for a whole new reason. Originally from the UK's third-largest city, Carli now calls the picturesque coastal township of Airlie Beach home. Carli started her scuba career with the Reef Safari family as a mind-blown Open Water Diver in February 2024, and in just a few short months, she blossomed into a sensational SSI instructor, renowned for her extraordinary talent - calming nervous divers with the most soothing underwater handhold!
Carlis presence is as mesmerizing as her favorite marine creature, the whale. She radiates an aura of serenity, making it effortless to slip into the ocean's embrace and surrender to its beauty. Both in and out of the water, Carli is the ultimate buddy, spreading infectious energy and inspiring others to seize life's joys to the fullest. Imagine starting your day with the sunrise, basking in warm rays, and savoring the aroma of Indian curry at dinner - that's what it's like to be around Carli!

Join us for an unforgettable summer day with Cruise Whitsundays and meet Carli in person. Trust us, you won't want to miss this opportunity to dive into the beauty of the ocean and experience the magic of Carlis world!

Stinger season everybody! Today is the day Jellyfish are finally allowed to make a comeback after their long winter break. Just kidding, as we always say, we have never met a jelly that could read the calendar (harr harr Cruise Whitsundays ), but with warmer water temperatures, we are starting to see more and more. To many they are some of the weirdest animals in the ocean, but as they consist out of 95% water, there's actually more ocean in the animal than the other way around. Since they are mostly transparent, you can clearly see that there is not much to see inside them: no heart, brain, lungs or any organs that we'd recognise. They're drifting through the ocean as if they have no idea what's going on, but they have been doing so for over 500 million years, so they must be doing something right. The dangly bits are not really tentacles, but more like extensions of their digestive systems. A bit like as if you could process food with your hands instead of putting it into your mouth. 🙌
They rarely come by themselves, but do you know what you call a group of jellies? See the answer in the comments and leave us your favourite fact about Jellyfish.

Plenty of people have tried pulling off a white suit—The Godfather, Elvis Presley, John Travolta, Kate Middleton, Kim Kardashian—but no one does it quite like our Hannah! Like a (let’s be honest, rather leisurely) flash of white glowing lightning, this sophisticated underwater photographer emerged from Indiana, the land where most of the world's popcorn is grown.
Hannah first came to the reef as a guest in March for a cert dive and, well, she never really left! Now, Hardy Reef is her office, and her co-workers? The ever-feisty Damsel fish with their playful nibbles.
Already a certified Divemaster when she arrived in Airlie Beach, Hannah took the plunge into a diving career after an interesting conversation with a shark at a sandbar (trust us, you’ll want to ask her about it). These days, her favorite pastime is slow-motion diving, searching for the tiniest micro marine life. And yes, she’s even got an Insta account where she posts her nudes—that's photos of nudibranchs, by the way, so keep your mind out of the gutter!
A mermaid with impeccable taste, Hannah demands only the finest for dinner—at least three pots, two pans, and a hot plate’s worth of culinary magic will do. And when it’s time to sleep, only five pillows and the fluffiest blanket around will suffice. But meet her standards and give her a little notice to be spontaneous, and she’s the perfect partner for any adventure, especially if there’s water involved.

Look, a coral trout, a master of stealth and style! 🥷🏼🎣 With their striking red and blue spots, these fish are a sight to behold. But don't be fooled by their beauty - they're also formidable predators, using their sharp eyesight and agility to ambush prey. Keep a keen eye out, and you might just spot one lurking among the coral, blending seamlessly into their vibrant surroundings.
