A “Master Class” on the Wonders of the Reef

The Coral Sea Academy invites you to come on a journey as we dive beneath the waves to explore the Great Barrier Reef.

Stretching more than 2,300km and home to a multitude of marine life, the world heritage Great Barrier Reef is one of the planet’s 7 natural wonders and the Coral Sea Academy is on a mission to share the reasons why through an immersive story-telling experience for the Whitsundays community and general public to enjoy.

On Saturday 25th June, from 10am – 12.30pm, this free event, “Exploring Our Natural Wonder”, will take place at The Lookout Lounge, Coral Sea Marina.

Locals and visitors will discover more about what lies beneath the surface and receive their very own Master Class from many of the Whitsunday’s very own Master Reef Guides.

“Guests can expect to be educated, entertained and inspired by this living treasure’s most ardent ambassadors, Master Reef Guides,” explains Crystal Lacey, local Master Reef Guide and “Little Fish Tourism” Director.

“With over 5 Master Reef Guides expected at the event, you can expect to learn more of the magic below including the master builders of the sea, Mega Fauna, and some unique characters who all call the reef home”.

Guests will benefit from the passion and knowledge of these reef ambassadors, as they impart up-to-date scientific and management information about the reef and explain what people can do to make a difference themselves.

In 2019, Coral Sea Marina launched Coral Sea Academy, an initiative designed to educate people on the natural environment, sustainable boating practices and preserving the Great Barrier Reef. It has also become the perfect platform in which to encourage guests and visitors to join the mission to affect positive change.
