The Great Barrier Reef is the greatest masterpiece of Mother Nature. The world
famous Great Barrier Reef is located in Northeast of Australia, which stretches over 2000 km.
It is considered to be one of the top scuba diving destinations of the world (Legrand, Chen
and Sloan 2013). The crystal clear water, healthy reef, amazing bio diversity, big fishes and
spectacular corals have won the hearts of many scuba divers. Moreover, the best way of
exploring the underwater heaven is by a live board. One can also enjoy a day trip from Port
Douglas, Whitsunday Islands, Townsville or from Cairns (Tourismwhitsundays.com.au
2018). So, do not wait and plan a trip to Great Barrier Reef and explore heaven under the
water.
Visitors have an amazing time jet skiing all around the islands with the tour guides.
The range of experiences they gain from the place is worth the investment. Therefore, a plan
to open a business of scuba diving service will not be that bad (Morrison 2013). People from
all over the world come to visit the place to experience their best afternoons by jet skiing,

business of scuba diving services will help in providing the visitors with a lifetime
experience, which they deserve. The tour guides will be available to guide the tourists and
help them spend a great couple of hours under the water (Mok, Sparks and Kadampully
2013).

country (Vila, Darcy and Gonzalez 2015).
The world’s largest reef is a major tourist booster for the crowds who love exploring
places and also the scientists who keeps on researching on this topic. This helps in improving
the scope of tourism development and thus, adding up to the economical factor (McManus
2013). The locals will be getting benefitted from this and it will contribute to the social factor
(Day and Dobbs 2013). Moreover, it is highly important to take care of the environmental
factor as many tourists may litter the place. Over thirty tourism operators have taken oath to
ban the use of plastics within the reef (Evans et al. 2013).
The businesses are adopting new and innovative methods for clearing the places as
