Nonki, a coral pinnacle named by a Japanese diver, is one of the more easy sites at Holmes Reef. This site is often dived by going down the pinnacle and then spiraling up, enjoying all the marine life that surrounds you. You will see swimthroughs crowded with huge sea fans, tuna, barracuda, trevally and all kinds of hard and soft coral. Seeing turtles is not uncommon, as are nudibranches, several species of clownfish and a few species of sharks.

In the Coral Sea, about 250 kilometers away from Cairns, lies Holmes Reef, a reef interesting for us all. There are drift dives, caves, turtles, deep dives and incredible night dives. Not to mention the amount of pelagic, smaller marine life and different species of hard and soft coral. One of the biggest thrills however are the enormous numbers of shark encounters.
