| 5 Day 4 Night Cod Hole & Coral Sea The basic difference between the 4 Day trip and the 5 day trip (beside the obvious) is that you also have the opportunity to dive one of the most famous areas of the Coral Sea called Osprey Reef.
Diving Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea, the most exciting shark diving location in Australia, you will have the chance to do a Shark feed and some stunning wall dives in this world famous area that has an average visibility of 40 metres. If you have the time we recommend that you extend as Osprey Reef is well worth the effort.

Our second dive at the Cod Hole is the Cod Feed, where huge schools of fish and Maori Wrasses compete with the large family of Potato Cod for a fish dinner. This would have to be one of the world's premier dive experiences.
We do another dive in this area at either Dynamite Pass or Snake Gully, then a night dive. Taka II departs this area at approximately midnight to travel to Osprey Reef.
