What is the difference between Low Isles and the Outer Reef?
Typically the difference between the outer reef and Low Isles is clarity of water and distance. The visibility at Low Isles averages out at 2-3 metres whereas the clean water from the Coral Sea means that visibility on the outer Great Barrier Reef usually averages out at 15-20 meters. Low Isles is a great option for families especially during the peak season when we get the south easterly trade winds. Low Isles is also a good option for those concerned about getting seasick or those with older passengers or toddlers in their group.
