Cairns, Australia
The southern end of Flynn Reef, near Cairns, features one of the most stunning walls. The reef's surface rises up to a plateau of shallow coral gardens, leading to a sandy slope on the western side of the dive site. On the eastern side, there is a more dramatic drop-off, beginning at 8 meters and descending to 30 meters. This wall is rich with macro life, and pelagic marine creatures can often be seen swimming by in the blue waters. Be sure to watch for Mantas visiting the cleaning stations.
