This is a fantastic overview of marine life to be found on the Great Barrier Reef and I consider a "must do" for anyone contemplating a snorkel or dive trip to the reef. The presenter, Gareth is certainly passionate about what he does and his presentation is all about making the best out of your reef experience. Very highly recommended.

I have been to the reef a few times before I watched this talk, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I now have a much greater appreciation of the reef and it's creatures.

The presenter is funny and passionate and shares... More

Seeing Reef Teach greatly enhanced my reef experience. Aside from the information session being entertaining on it's own, what it adds to your dive is worth much more than the admission cost. Highly recommended.

The guy who does reef teach is really enthusiastic. He really cares about the marine wildlife and it shows. Its only 18 AUD for a little more than 2 hours. Great Deal. I wish school was like that. I would remember much more.

Reef Teach Cairns provides an evening of fascinating, amazing information about the magnificent Great Barrier Reef. The cost is $18 per person. Not sure if there is a family price. The talk is given by Gareth, a Marine Biologist/Boat Skipper who has an obvious passion for the reef and plenty of personal experience. He provides a lot of detailed information... More
