Norman Reef
An outer reef about 58 to 70 km north-east of Cairns at the edge of the continental shelf, the furthest north of the reefs Reef Experience visits. It combines shallow coral gardens with walls, drop-offs, swim-throughs and small caves, with visibility of up to 30 metres.
Norman Reef has around 15 named dive sites, most of them on its western side, and is dived by several day boats and liveaboards. The top of the reef lies at around 5 metres, and gently sloping walls run north to south on the eastern side. One of its sites even holds a small wreck. Divers can expect giant clams, humphead parrotfish, cuttlefish, moray eels and a friendly giant Maori wrasse, and grey reef sharks patrol the deeper walls.
