are accommodated in 6 cabins all a/c and private bathroom. This
vessel will also include a small aircraft flight to or from Lizard
Island and Cairns, to save valuable diving time.
The world famous Cod Hole which is often described
as one of the best dive spots on the Great Barrier Reef. The Cod
Hole is known for its resident family of Potato Cod which are protected,
and have made this small section of the reef their home. They range
in size from 50 to 120 pounds.
The average depth of diving is around 18 - 20 metres.
The water temperature varies year round, and there is no "best"
time of year for diving on the Great Barrier Reef, as each month
sees different action - Manta Rays during February/March/April,
Minke Whales during May/June/July, sometimes Humpback Whales during
August, the Coral Spawning in November, etc.
