Few destinations on the Great Barrier Reef offer such an exquisite diving and snorkeling experience, due to Orpheus’ unique nature and personalised approach. Imagine exploring an awe-inspiring underwater world teeming with fish in an incredible array of colours while turtles swim past, seemingly undisturbed by your presence. The fringing reef surrounding Orpheus and the neighbouring islands is home to some of the regions most diverse and unspoilt marine wonderlands. Orpheus’ local dive sites are home to 1,100 of the 1,500 species of fish on the reef, 340 of the 359 varieties of hard corals and some of the region’s largest collections of soft corals.
