Day 1: Caves was a fantastic dive with a couple of turtles and a few sharks thrown in for good measure.

Day 2: Cod Hole was fantastic. Lots of white tips and a nice grey reefie. Lots of cod could be seen in the beautiful clear water funnelling in from the Coral Sea. The cod feed was ‘most excellent' with around 6 cod coming in for a sticky beak. A couple of the more game cod were happy to try and get into the action before the largest of all the cod hurried them away. After the cod feed we swam out into the Cod Hole and found a few white tips, grey reefies and an absolutely gorgeous leopard shark that just lay there happy to have it's photo taken. Two Towers was a great dive with a couple of nosey sea snakes that kept the divers entertained. Challenger Bay lived up to it's reputation for having beautiful coral life with lots of little creatures nestled amongst it all. Challenger at night proved to be a highlight for some with a load of white tips and greys, moray eels, lot's of GT's, heaps of macro. All made even that more enjoyable by some spectacular visibility.

Day 3: Pixie Wall saw some divers see their first manta ray. After which a group of 6 devil rays sped past for a final drive by before divers surfaced. Epic diving! Rod's Rock and the amazing visibility that surrounded it had passengers all talking about how healthy the coral life is in this part of the world. Lots of macro and schools of baitfish showed that Rod's is one of our stand out dives. A drift dive on Dynamite Pass is always a good way to get the adrenalin flowing. The coral life along Dynamite Pass is extremely healthy and is home to all sorts of life including a very curious cuttlefish who loved showing off in front of the camera. The Snake Pit was our last stop. A relaxing dive around some of the best feather star gardens I've ever seen. Massive schools of glass perchlets that hung close to the coral were being prayed on by all sorts of small hunters. Sea snakes and different varieties of coral cod and coral trout were pigging out the whole dive. Fantastic to watch.

Congratulations to our Honeymooners - Mark and Angela.  Congrat's and well done to Yvette and Rod for completing their Advanced Course and to Robb, Celene and Matt on their Nitrox Certification.
