About Perisher Blue - Great Detached Reef - GBR
Perisher Blue is a remote Great Detached Reef site where hard-coral gardens spill into clear blue water and pelagic traffic sweeps past the reef edge. Expect healthy coral structure, schooling barracuda and fusiliers, and the chance of sharks, turtles, morays, and cuttlefish on a dive that feels exposed, wild, and far from the inner reef.
