Spawn Spam! 🤿 Last week the team of Kiana and a few very lucky guests were fortunate enough to witness one of the most spectacular biological events on the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef! 👌 The annual Coral Spawn occurs in the days following the October and November full moons, and is known as sex on the reef! As the coral simultaneously releases sperm and eggs into the water to fertilize, they then face their biggest challenge yet, of finding a suitable substrate to lay their foundations for the future of the Great Barrier Reef Thanks to Spawnstar Johnny Gaskell for the epic clip!

Navigating the Reef Channels

Navigating through the reef channels isn't an easy task. It takes years of experience and skills to be able to navigate safely. Skipper Brent has spent over 20 years navigating these waters, and when you watch him in action, he is constantly aware of his surroundings, the wind, the waves and the depths of the water, he makes it look incredibly easy. Guests onboard can get involved and learn how he does it, or alternatively you can sit outside and enjoy the view. 🎥 James Unsworth IG: www.instagram.com/jamesunsworth93

Dolphins riding the waves

The locals showing us the way 🐬 Dolphins are a common and beautiful sight when onboard Kiana Sail and Dive. Dolphins are exquisitely good at bow-riding, able to fine-tune their body posture and position so as to be propelled along entirely by the pressure wave, often with no tail (or fluke) beats needed. 📽️ James Unsworth IG: www.instagram.com/jamesunsworth93

The MS Kiana

Isn't she a beaut? 😍 Travel to the Great Barrier Reef in style onboard MS Kiana a 60ft (16.5m) cutter rigged ketch. Purpose built as a charter and sail vessel.
