Dive & Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef

Cairns: Liveaboard Trips (5 day trips)

Cod Hole & Ribbon Reefs

The Cod Hole was first made famous by Rod & Valerie Taylor. You can still see the giant potato cod (up to 30kg) hand fed by the divemasters on every trip. The Ribbon Reefs run parallel to the coastline and offer a huge range of stunning dive sites. These reefs are visited by fewer operators then the Outer Barrier Reef and as such are in pristine condition.
Trip duration is 4 or 5 days (usually 1 day is spent travelling).

Coral Sea

The diving just doesn't get any better the this!!!!
If you want to experience the best diving possible you must visit the Coral Sea. The diving here is best suited for those with a little more experience as there are deep walls (1000m +) and there can be strong currents (great for drift diving).

As previously mentioned, the further away from land you get, the better the diving is - you can pretty well guarantee 30m viz year round. Due to the distance travelled and the fact that the dive sites are unprotected, weather plays a big part in where you actually dive. Most operators do not have a set itinerary and the location is determined by the skipper based on comfort and safety. The best time of year is September to January.
Trip duration is 5 to 7days (usually 1 day is spent travelling).
