All about Cochrane Artificial Reef dive site

Cochrane Artificial Reef is a man-made reef system in Queensland, creating an underwater playground where structure attracts fish life. It has a practical, local-dive feel, with marine life gathered around artificial habitat rather than natural reef alone.
