About this site
Ski Slopes lies within Queensland's Great Barrier Reef system, offshore from the Cairns region of tropical North Queensland, Australia. The coordinates place it among the reef structures typically accessed by dive and snorkel boats operating out of Cairns or Port Douglas. It is a beginner dive reaching a maximum depth of around 15 metres, making it a manageable stop on reef itineraries out of that stretch of coast.
