Spirit of Freedom - TRIP Gallery
Mon 24th October 2011 - Thu 27th October 2011
Finally after days of rain in Cairns the weather was turning good, which was a good sign for our trip ahead. We managed to escape the rain for the entire trip and had plenty of sunshine. The wind was easing off to 15 to 20 knots, which was a great improvement from the 35-knot winds experienced the week before. The group on board gelled well together and you could see they really loved there diving. It was great to be able to offer them some of the best diving Australia has to offer, which they responded well too.
The cod feed was yet again another hit, with over 5 cod enjoying an easy snack. Some of these cods are monsters weighing over 60kg! There were plenty of awesome photos taken this week with our divers enjoying some up close encounters with some large olive sea snakes and very relaxed turtles. The site Pixie Pinnacle was comparable to a large aquarium with a plethora of fish seen, which included curtains of anthias and chromis, turkey fish, trevally and a file flame shell with banded shrimp. Snake Pit produced this week with a couple of divers lucky enough to spend some time with a large manta ray. The Pit has an impressive array of hard healthy hard corals, which includes table corals over lapping one another. The fish life here is what divers fly around the world to see. Everywhere you look something is going on from coral trout being cleaned by cleaner wrasse, fish engaging in courtship, trigger fish scourging between the coral, large schools of barracuda and bait fish, to plenty of small creatures such as nudibranchs, crinoid shrimps and blennies. During the night dive sharks were seen, large schools of giant trevally and free-swimming moray eels.
After a huge trip of diving what better way to finish it off with an Aussie BBQ, a few drinks food and great conversation. Thanks for coming aboard Spirit of Freedom!
On a special note our very own dive instructor Joel Stanley gives a big G'day from down under to his parents Carol and Jack.
Happy Birthday to Sai Kwan, hope you had a fantastic day on the Great Barrier Reef.
Well done to Carmen for completing your advanced open water diver course.
Hats off to David for achieving his 100th dive onboard Spirit of Freedom.
Cheers, Chris Haslam (Trip Director)
