Cairns Reef Report for The Week Ending Sunday 19th June
Awareness has improved for the Cairns reefs, with 10- 15 metres reported for the southern reefs and 10 metres about the northern reefs. Instructor Jeffl aboard Kalinda saw a squillion (well nearly) of turtles in Gordon’s Mooring, while divers in Paradise Reef spied 2 lion fish hiding behind an outcrop of coral. Tide movements are with a minimum, which should treat divers to very little current this weekend break. East-southeasterly winds can ease and blow around 10 in order to 15 knots. The skies should also remain clear.
