The 5-day liveaboard with Taka Dive
starts from the port of Cairns with Taka II. The tour goes first to the famous
Cod Hole, then out into the Coral Sea and on the way back along the reefs of
the Great Barrier Reef.
The boat offers place for 26 guests. There are two double cabins with own shower/toilet
on the upper deck. On the lower deck there are cabins with two or four beds.
Those do not offer own bathrooms but there are two toilets and two showers to
share.
On the upper deck you can find a lot of space to relax, laze around and enjoy
the sun between the dives.
The dive platform is spacious - everyone has enough place to get ready for the
dives.
The food is various and delicious and there is always enough to satisfy the
diver's hunger.

The first destination
is the famous "Cod Hole" which lies north of Cairns. Huge potato cods
live there and they join you the whole dive.
The next day the boat goes out to the Osprey Reef which lies in the middle of
the Coral Sea where visibility of 30 to 50 meters can be expected.
At North Horn is a shark feeding on the programme, which attract grey reef sharks,
whitetip reef sharks as well as hammerhead sharks in dozens.
On the way back to Cairns you will dive the beautiful Ribbon Reefs which are
simply fantastic. Besides fascinating coral formations, there is of course a
lot of fish as parrotfish, lionfish, pufferfish, boxfish, cuttlefish, groupers,
barracudas and also lots of different shoals of fish to see. All in all a great
and recommendable trip.
