The Northern
Ribbon Reefs and the Remote Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea
We
have been operating liveaboard dive trips for over 15 years to
the Northern Great Barrier Reefs, Ribbon Reefs and the Coral Sea.
Our brand new purpose-built dive vessel was launched in January
2004 setting a new standard in dive travel.
The
famous Cod Hole attracts divers from all over the world combined
with the Shark Feed at Osprey Reef is certainly a dive trip of
a lifetime.
Osprey
reef in the Coral Sea is one of the most spectacular dive sites
in the world. Offering a diverse range of shark life all year
round and pristine soft coral unlike anything you have ever seen
before.
On
our shark feed dive, you are more than likely to see anywhere
from 10 to 70 sharks at a time. Some of our most frequent visitors
include:
Grey
reef sharks (AKA Grey Whalers), Black tip reef sharks, White tip
reef sharks, Wobbegong sharks, Epaulette sharks and the larger
Oceanic Silver Tip sharks. We have also seen the occasional lone
Tiger Shark or Thresher shark cruising past and just recently
an appropriately named Goblin shark. Hammerhead sharks can sometimes
been seen at North Horn in late winter and into spring of each
year.
From
May to July we have the Dwarf Minke Whale Season each year. Passengers
travelling during this time have the opportunity to contribute
to the research of these whales. We team up with the James Cook
University researchers, and record all sightings of these fantastic
mammals. All passengers who have had interaction with the Minkes
fill in a questionnaire, which helps to further research. Diving
with these majestic creatures will be the most exciting and momentous
experience of your life.
The
amazing sightings are not limited to the Coral Sea, this year
along the Ribbon Reefs the diving has been spectacular. Frequent
sightings include various Nudibranchs, Manta Rays, Giant Australian
Cuttlefish, Loggerhead and Green Turtles, Moray Eels, Red Flame
File Shell, Lionfish and the best Marine life the Great Barrier
Reef has to offer.
