- Jonathan visits the largest reef system in the world: the famous Great Barrier Reef of Australia. In addition to going diving, he visits the reef as non-divers often do-by submarine, helicopter and even in a bubble helmet! Along the way he meets some amazing animals such as a friendly sea turtle and a giant wrasse!

**********************************************************************
The Great Barrier Reef. It's probably the most famous reef in the world, and the largest. It's not just visible from the air, but from space.
Cairns is a city in Queensland, the northeast state of Australia. The Great Barrier Reef runs 1600 miles along the coast of Queensland.
Its made up of millions of interconnected coral heads, forming the largest living structure made by living organisms!
To see the whole thing, you need to get pretty high up. This satellite image was made from 400 feet above the ocean. You can see the reef just offshore.
For my first encounter on the Great Barrier Reef, I'll be making the trip out on a big catamaran operated by Sunlover Cruises.
The crew unties the boat and I enjoy the scenery as we head offshore.
Ninety minutes later, I arrive at the Sunlover pontoon. I have never seen a dive operation like this before. The boat is huge, but we don't dive from the boat. Instead we dock at this massive pontoon-sort of like a floating dive shop-and spend the day right next to the reef in a protected spot. Pure luxury!
A lot of people who don't dive love to come out and get a first hand look at the reef here. The water is clear and it's not too deep.
But even people who don't like to get wet can see the reef. On a submarine!
And for a diving experience unlike any other, anyone can try the Sea Walker experience. All you need is a 40 found helmet! I walk down the stairs into the water and the staff outfits me with the strangest piece of dive gear I have ever used. With no fins on, I just walk out to a massive school of fish. My hair doesn't even get wet!
This is incredible! They’ve got about a thousand fish around here. I feel like Doctor Sylvia Earle - deep sea diver. This is a very different way to go scuba diving, and this just goes to show you if you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t want to wear a regulator, and maybe you can’t even swim that well, you can do this! It’s just like walking.
You know I’ve had a lot of experiences underwater, and this is definitely one of the most unique!
To demonstrate how this helmet works, I have an ordinary water glass, which obviously is full of water, but if I turn it upside down, I can fill it with air. (Fills it with air) And now you can see that it keeps the air in, but if you turn it right side up - so we don’t want to turn this right side up.
I pose for a picture, because you never know when you're going to get to do this again!
Next I meet Vance Fahey who will be my divemaster for a scuba dive on the reef today.
Not only do I have a nice easy staircase to walk right down into the water, but a platform for putting on my fins. I can get used to this!
On the platform is a group of new divers getting their first taste of the underwater world.
At last I head out onto the reef to explore.
I see many types of hard corals, beautiful pastel colored soft corals, and lots of fan coral.
Near the reef, I find one of the largest Giant Clams I have ever seen. I can't imagine how much this clam must weigh.
The mantle gets its bright colors from imbedded symbiotic algae that harvest the sun's rays for energy.
I find a huge crack in the reef and have a little fun swimming through it.
On the other end, I'm greeted by a sea turtle.
She comes right over. There are lots of divers around this reef and this turtle knows that the divers won't hurt her.
Once she has decided that I'm not doing anything terribly interesting, she goes back to looking for her favorite sponges to eat.
I turn and head back towards the platform across the shallow reef.
At the platform I'm greeted by a friendly Mauri Wrasse. This monster of a fish reaches both the length and the weight of a motorcycle. I'm just glad they prefer to eat crustaceans and mollusks--not divers!
I think I've made a new friend!
I’m 13 years old, I’ve moved next to the sea and already have started my scuba diving lessons. Thank you so much for being a joy
Congratulations!!
BlueWorldTV Thank you for your videos, keep them up!
Keep getting those certs and don't ever dive beyond your certs training and skills especially go cave diving even though you might think of I'm just gonna break the threshold and go a few feet in don't cause when you'll keep going and silt up the water and boom can't find way out that fast and die. Sorry for being blunt. Also look up places like vortex springs it's amazing vortex is full of fish and really beautiful water and amazing to dive and great place to practice as well with many of other divers around that will help you if needed and my instructor took me there for a lesson besides in the swimming pool for something different and did my certs there as well.
OH THE MEMORIES OF AUSTRALIA AND THE GBR!!!
My family snorkeled. We didn’t see these helmets until after we got back.
Oof
Glad to see any video of Great Barrier Reef in the past. I've done scuba diving at Great Barrier Reef with Sunlover Cruise in 2023, the place is still amazing but I sadly saw a lot of dead carols as well. It is important for people to remember how it was and how fragile it is.
Your the one that made me want to be a marine biologist, I just want to say thank you💙
Harrison young You're**
Harrison young me to
Might just have started that wish for me again too..!
Same!
same
That's Wally the wrasse! He's always there and he's awesome
metal. iwnl cool?
I did a scuba dive there, very friendly fish. But it was kinda sad seeing how much it has began to loose its beauty.
Your my inspiration. Even though I am still at primary school(in Australia!) you made me want to be a marine biologist and interest me in aquatic life. I have also visited the Great Barrier Reef and went snorkelling and saw a baby turtle. They are so cute.
Thanks for watching!!
Hope you become one!
That's so cute JB , interacting with these animals as if they are pet's.
I think this place is unbelievable. I have a request. I would love to see one of your dives in full and see everything you see in an hour. Often when you do the reefs there is so much to see and I long to see more. Just about the time I start really relaxing watching all the amazing things there are you say your getting low on O2 and have to head back. I would love a full hour of you diving the reef along with commentary
Check out the diveLIVE TH-cam channel. There's a bunch of 40-60 minute dive videos that are worth watching.
DiveLIVE managed to rig up a system to stream their dives live and even respond to viewer questions during the dives. It was crowdfunded but unfortunately not successful enough to continue after the first season.
Petting a fish is something I’ve never heard of until now, yet I REALLY wanna do it!
@Joshy F86 i fish a lot and i still cry sometimes
I saw all of your videos, i just couldn't stop, they are awesome. I am an PADI instructor and discovering scuba diving in asia. i got some great ideas about where to go diving next. I myself do underwater videography and watching your videos i learn a lot and will. thank you so much for sharing your work and pation.
The view is fantastic.I love diving.Thank you Jonathan to show us such beatiful place.I'll put it into my diving list!
Good to see you in Australia and made it to Queensland Cairns, my home town.
The scuba diving part is so nice and relaxing 😌
This was the most interesting episode!!! Friendly animals under the reef!!! 😊😊😊
Wow..
Swimming there for years.. wouldnt be enough
This look magical another world ❤️❤️❤️
Finally the HD version, still can't wait till I ever go there. :)
I don't know why, but when you showed that close-up of the giant clam, my eyes began tearing up.
Welcome to my home johnathan. Loving going out there.
I have just come back from diving in Cairns and it is an experience you will never forget.
I dived of Fitzroy island and are planning on doing my open water licenses.
Would definitely recommend diving in Australia
I really enjoyed it when i went there for a month, stopping at different towns all the way along the reef !
I bet that is a experience Jonathan will never forget !!! . I would love to visit the Great Barrier Reef
Such an incredible video of our beautiful Moore Reef Habitat!!
I went to the GREAT BARRIER REEF today and I saw so much stuff in your video like that giant CLAM and I also saw that dive master with you and I made him remember who you are and he’s now the life guard there😊
A bird that swims. Amazing
Such a beautiful place, & so sad what it's suffered from, but hopefully all this new stuff like coral farms will bring some much-needed life back!!! Still, great place, great sea-life (shame there were no sharkies but hey you can't win them all), & so many great ways to see it!!!
what a bird's eye view of the ocean! beautiful! thanks for your work!
I am 13 years old, But I still want to go scuba diving

I went swimming in the ocean and I kept asking my mom to swim with a whale shark and she said if I get into marine biologist school
Well, did you
That's too bad you could have just swam with yo mama. It's the same.
