Flinders Reef, Queensland, Australia

Flinders Reef is a small isolated reef near Moreton Island, 5 km north-west of Cape Moreton. It is renowned for its crystal-clear water and features a dazzling variety of coral and marine life, spectacular walls, steep drop-offs, and lone seamounts rising thousands of feet from the ocean floor to just below the surface. Two small sandy islets jut above the surface and are host to sea birds, turtles, and hermit crabs.

The Flinders Reef complex is a offers a variety of diving and snorkelling experiences. Sites vary from 1,000 metre walls to arrays of bommies, to magical coral gardens, to lone seamounts emerging from the ocean depths. There are more species and varieties of corals in this one area than any other single reef on the Great Barrier Reef. The diverse amount of marine life include schools of Wrasse, Sweetlip, Trevally, Parrot, Bat, Surgeon, turtles and tropical fish. Manta Rays, Wobbegongs and Leopard Sharks are among the larger creatures that reside here. Sightings of Whaler sharks are sometimes seen on the eastern side of Flinders. During the months of June to September, Humpback Whales can be seen on the surface as they pass by.
