CORAL SPAWNING ADVENTURE
Once a year in November/ December 3 to 4 days after the Full Moon from 9.00pm onwards, all the corals on the reef spawn at once in a dazzling display.
Billions of tiny cells come shooting out of corals all over the reef in a mass synchronized event, pouring into the water like sparkling bubbles and forming a slick that coats the surface, after which the tiny baby corals settle down onto the reef and find a place to grow and flourish.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see coral spawning on the Great Barrier Reef on our special 2 night/ 1 day adventure.
This dramatic phenomenon lasts just one night, and is considered a rare viewing event, as one must be in the right place at the right time to see it.
Our 2-night/ 1-day expedition offers you 4 chances over two nights to try and match the time of coral spawning for an unforgettable experience.
That’s 4-night dives and 3 day dives.
Private Charter Rate $4400.00 all inclusive.
Included: 7 dives, Tanks, weights, air fills; BCD, regulator with computer, wetsuit, plus any other snorkel gear as required, all bedding linen, all meals, light refreshments provided after dives coffee, tea, hot chocolate, BYO alcohol and other drinks, tap drinking water.
