Thursday: Around 07:30am this morning the Spirit of Freedom courtesy coach will transfer you from your Cairns city hotel to Cairns airport.

After an orientation of the vessel we depart for Ribbon Reef Number 10. This afternoon you will have the opportunity for two or three dives at a choice of sites including the Cod Hole, Challenger Bay , Lighthouse Bommie, Pixie Wall, and Pixie Pinnacle. We depart in the evening for an 8 hour journey to Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea .

Friday & Saturday: Osprey Reef. Australia’s Coral Sea reefs are renown for crystal clear water with average visibility in excess of 100 feet. Two days can be spent diving at Osprey Reef, including North Horn, well known for its shark action. You can expect to see grey whalers, silvertips, reef sharks, occasional hammerheads, schooling barracuda, trevally, and other pelagics. The landscape is amazing with sheer walls laced with gorgonians, sea whips, and bright yellow soft corals, rising from thousands of feet below.

Sunday:
Option 1: Today return to the Ribbon Reefs Number 3 to dive sites such as the sensational Steve’s Bommie, Temple of Doom, and Flare Point. On Sunday evening cruise overnight back to Cairns
Option 2: Still in the Coral Sea, weather depending you will have the opportunity to dive Bougainville Reef.
