The Ribbon Reefs extend southwards from Lizard Island and include the famous ‘Cod Hole’, where you can feed the Giant Potato Cod and view a huge variety of marine life. Onboard Taka, your trip includes diving and snorkelling on some of the best sites on the Great Barrier Reef.

WEDNESDAY We usually start our first day diving at Ribbon Reef No.9 (Challenger Bay). This gives our divers a scenic place to get back into the swing of things and check out some beautiful coral formations. The boat then moves a bit further north to the Cod Hole where we do 2 dives.

The first dive is to check out the general geography at the Cod Hole and take a look at the huge variety of marine life that lives in this area. The second dive at the Cod Hole is the cod feed, where huge schools of fish and Maori Wrasse compete with the large family of Potato Cod for a fish dinner. This would have to be one of the world's premier diving experiences. We do another dive south of this area at either Pixie Pinnacle or Harrier Reef.

THURSDAY Clam Garden is a favourite dive site, with giant clams scattered throughout the coral. Temple of Doom, is another famous site that we visit regularly and there are many other sites we dive depending on conditions. During the course of this day you will see giant clams up to 2 metres across, huge coral gardens, and an abundance of marine life unmatched on this planet. We do 3 day dives and a night dive on this day.
