TAKA: 7 Day Back TO Back - Cod Hole + Coral Sea

This tour comprises of a combination of both the 4 day 3 night tour to the Cod Hole & Northern Great Barrier Reef as well as the 5 day 4 night tour to the Cod Hole & Osprey reef in the Coral Sea.

During the seven-day trip you will have the opportunity to experience 24 dives at some of the worlds most renowned dive sites. You will enjoy your seven days diving at the 'world famous' Cod Hole, pristine Osprey reef in the Coral Sea and the beautifully diverse Ribbon Reefs.

As the trip is a combination of two tours, you will return to Cairns for a short two hour interval before embarking upon the second leg of your tour. This is a good time to grab any last minute purchases or contact friends and family between the tours.

Your tour will either depart on Friday and return the following Friday, or depart Tuesday and return the following Tuesday. See our rates page for the various prices per person, dependant upon room type and rental requirements. We also run a selection of courses on board the vessel.

Beer, wine, soft drinks and chocolate bars are available from the Bar.

PADI Advanced Course

The advanced course is a PADI course that requires divers to go that one step further in understanding what Scuba Diving is all about. The tasks that are set out to be performed while diving do not detract from the enjoyment of the tour, but add a whole new range of possibilities to be enjoyed underwater.

During the advanced course, you will get an introduction to five specialities in the PADI system: Underwater Naturalist, Boat Diving, Underwater Navigation, Night Diving and Deep Diving. A fairly relaxed course, this focuses on the practical aspects of diving rather than theoretical classroom work.

The cost of the Advanced Course is AUD $225 in addition to the trip cost.

Extras:
- Camera hire for 1 day (4 dives) – $100 for digital camera.
