A Bit Blustery

You were going on a reef trip but it's been called off because of the howling wind..? If this is you then don't worry. How about a spot of jet skiing on Dunk Island instead? The bay off the jet ski beach is always protected from the wind so you'll have nice calm water to jetski on.

Jet Ski Mission Beach

Have you been jet skiing recently? If not, why not dumbo? It's such a fantastic experience that I can't believe you'd try to go through your life without not attempting it. Absolutely tops.

Coral Reefs Declining Fast

Coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans are disappearing faster than had previously been thought, a scientific study has shown.
Nearly 1,554 sq km (600 sq miles) of reef have disappeared each year since the 1960s - twice the speed at which rainforest is being lost.

The corals are vanishing at a rate of 1% per year, a decline that has begun decades earlier than expected.

Details of the survey appear in the journal Plos One.

Jet Ski Mission Beach

People are often asking where you can jet ski in Mission Beach. The simple answer is to ask the guys from Dunk Jet Sports to come and pick you up then you can go for a play around Dunk Island which usually has calmer waters in the bay. Dunk Jet Sports have a sister company that operate Great Barrier Reef diving trips from Mission Beach - Calypso Dive can be found down the Wongaling Beach Road.

My web site design company often go jet skiing around Dunk with the guys - they are excellent.
