The Ribbon Reef
Lying on the outer edges of the Great Barrier Reef, the Ribbon Reefs are home to some of the worlds most famous dive sites.
The reefs here thankfully have very little human contact, which has ensured that they can support an outstanding range of biodiversity and marine life for divers and snorkelers. Depth varies anywhere from 5 – 35M, making this a perfect destination for free divers of all experience levels.
There are dozens of unique dive sites within the Ribbon Reefs, including drift dives, wall dives, swim throughs, caves and exploring colourful coral gardens and bommies. With great visibility all year round you’ll be sure to witness as many of the GBR’s 1500 fish and 400 coral species as possible. Much of this life will be encountered in shallow waters between 23 and 29 degrees, and in fact it is rare that you’ll be diving deeper than 20 metres, except when practicing line diving of course.
WHAT IS BREATHLESS?
Breathless is the space between science and the unknown; the space between the head and the heart; between learning and feeling. The space between doing and being. It's the culmination of several industry leaders collective years of research into and practice of different breathing protocols and holistic wellbeing methods, studying under some of the world’s most renowned breathwork experts and investigating the science - both old and the new. Breathless combines well-known, ancient breathwork techniques with new and altogether revolutionary neuroscience and studies into human potential, in one place. We believe that by learning to become aware of our breath and how it impacts on us, we can influence our health, our mental state, the way we feel, the way we move; the way we live.

Not only is it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, but it is one of the most beautiful, breath-taking, exotic, and magical places on the entire planet.
It's common for people to refer to this part of the world as "magical" or "otherworldly". There are very few places in the world that can match it's beauty not only at the surface level, but also at the beauty that's just below the surface in the warm ocean waters.
