Cairns Dive is an independent Great Barrier Reef guide based in Cairns, created by local family Richard, Julie and Ethan Johnston. The site shares first hand stories and practical advice from swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving across multiple reef locations, helping visitors of all ages and abilities understand tour options, compare trips and choose the Cairns reef experience that best matches their skills, budget and time. Cairns Dive is owned and run by Richard and Julie Johnston, Cairns locals who have spent years exploring the Great Barrier Reef with their son Ethan. From learning to dive before Ethan was born to watching him become a certified Junior Open Water Diver, they share real, family reef experiences to help others plan their own.
