About this site
Milln Reef sits on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia, in the Cairns region, and the Swimming Pools 1 site is one of its named dive spots. It reaches a maximum depth of around 10 metres, making it a beginner-level dive well suited to shallower, sheltered conditions typical of this outer reef area.
