A boat-accessed reef dive with varied coral structure, busy reef fish life, and偶
Cathchers Mitt - Tijou Reef - GBR is a reef dive with a strong coral focus and plenty of fish life. The site is described as a lively underwater landscape with varied hard and soft coral structure, so the appeal is as much about the reef itself as the marine life around it. Reef fish schools are a common highlight, and ray sightings are possible. Plan it as a boat-accessed reef dive where conditions will depend on sea state and seasonal weather.
