Join our small group of experienced divers venturing along the Ribbon Reefs, the Cod Hole and out into the Coral Sea to Osprey Reef for amazing diving!

​

​Sleek and spacious, the ‘Spirit of Freedom’ offers the best in live-aboard dive cruising to the Coral Sea and Ribbon Reefs.

​

We begin our trip on Wednesday 22nd November from Cairns, and travel 240km along the rarely visited Ribbon Reefs, to the Cod Hole. On the ‘Ribbons’ you will encounter clouds of colourful tropical fish, an incredible variety of vibrant healthy corals, giant clams, anemones, huge schools of cruising pelagic fish, and a family of giant potato cod.

​

Within our 7 days, we also spend 2 days at Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea. An old volcanic atoll lying 220km off the coast, Osprey Reef is renowned for its spectacular walls to 1,000m with massive soft corals, shark action, and exceptional visibility, as seen in Sir David Attenborough’s documentary series.

​

 ‘North Horn’ at the tip of Osprey is a site where grey reef sharks, silvertips, and the occasional oceanic congregate. Here you can also experience a close encounter with the Spirit of Freedom shark attraction dive. This tour also includes an overnight stay in secluded Watson’s Bay and a couple of hours ashore at Lizard Island.

​

We return to Cairns on the following Thursday morning after breakfast.
