Tourism Queensland, 2007:

"Queensland hosted almost 3.5 million dives and snorkels in the 12 months to March 2007."

"Over 1.2 million international and domestic overnight visitors participated in Recreational Diving and/or Snorkelling (RDS). This equates to 6 per cent of all overnight visitors to Queensland. Approximately one million of the RDS market went diving or snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef..

International visitors represented just over half (or 623,000) of the overall RDS market to Queensland. In general they came from the UK, Japan or the USA, were under 35 years of age and travelled either alone or as a couple. Domestic visitors represented slightly under half (or 608,000) of the total RDS market. Typically this market came from Queensland or New South Wales and were under 35 years. "
