Little Tracey's
Flynn Reef wall-and-garden dive with strong coral
About Little Tracey's
Little Tracey's is a Flynn Reef wall-and-garden site with coral bommies, shallow crevices, and a terraced slope that drops away from the reef edge. The dive rewards slow buoyancy and careful no-touch control, with coral gardens, plate and staghorn growth, and plenty of fish action across the walls and sand pockets. It suits calm Cairns boat days and divers who want a classic outer-reef profile with strong color and life.
