Scuba Diving The WORLD'S First FLOATING REEF!! - Wonder Reef 🇦🇺

Scuba Diving The World's First Floating Reef 🇦🇺
In this episode, Mark and Holly, head down to the Gold Coast with Gold Coast Dive Adventures to check out the World's first floating reef, Wonder Reef!
Wonder Reef is the world’s first buoyant reef just minutes from shore where nine underwater sculptures, towering almost 22 metres above the sea floor, move like giant kelp. Pause at different depths of this vertical drop dive to witness the ever-changing ecosystem, the deeper you dive.
Explore swim-throughs with Indian scad bait fish, giant gold-spotted rock cods, Queensland groupers, and sequined mulloway and admire the flourishing coral as it evolves over time. This underwater adventure awaits for all levels of divers in one of the most spectacular locations on earth.

I had never heard of this until now. What a cool idea! So much life on and around it already. Thanks for sharing this. 🤙

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

It is an interesting idea. But the cost of it and the scale of it, compared to sinking a warship. I am unsure if many more will actually be made.

[@astan5326]

Your guys videos are awesome, I don't know how you have so few subscribers. Keep posting! Heading to the Sinai next month, wish me luck.

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

Thank you, and have an epic time when yoy are there 😎

[@CoopersAmputeeLifestyle]

Great video Mark. Didn't realize something like that would cost so much money. Thanks for sharing

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

I know crazy. Well it Australian Dollars but costs $4m to sink a warship, so quite staggering

[@scubavery]

I just booked with Gold Coast dive adventures for June this year . I was going to do the wonder reef but decided to do 3 x dives at the North Stradbroke island. Can’t wait . Very detailed and interesting facts about the wonder reef thanks 👍

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

You have defo made the right choice diving Straddie over Wonder Reef. Hopefully get to dive Manta Bommie when there. The guys at GCDA are awesome. You will have fun.

[@scubavery]

@@BlueHorizonDiving defo looking forward to it reef sharks and maybe whales but not guaranteed. 👍

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

Mantas and reef sharks for sure. Potentially here them for sure as start of whale season in June. Will have epic time. You just 2 hours south from where we are.

[@scubavery]

@@BlueHorizonDiving would be great seeing them . Plus would be great seeing you guys it seems we been so close but not close enough to meet up . Only in the Gold Coast surfer paradise for 5 nights .

[@sammoyers905]

Those are some really cool structures. They look really hollow. Understanding Archimedes, how do the upper structures maintain their buoyancy? 🤔

[@sammoyers905]

Oh, after rewatching, I see the central core of the upper sections are not hollow. I saw Holly swimming through what must be a lower section and was like... hmmm🤔

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

Yeah the centre part is filled with air then have the wrap around after. The website about how they designed and built them is interesting - www.wonderreef.com.au/

[@catherinewakely7780]

Interesting concept - bit ugly in all truth (apart from the pretty fish) - and they don't really float per se - they are attached to the sea bed? It would be super cool if they were just buoyant at depth - and you never quite knew where they were! :)

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

🤣🤣 true, so Cazza, you want a floating shipping hazard to dodge for fun

[@catherinewakely7780]

@@BlueHorizonDiving ah yeah - bit like a video game!

[@JeremyButton-x7s]

they wouldn't be there long now would they :)

[@sambroder8569]

Oh yeah! Never thought of that! I"m a bit of a ditz!! @@JeremyButton-x7s
