Friday & Saturday
Osprey Reef. Australia’s Coral Sea reefs are renown for crystal clear water with an average
visibility in excess of 100 feet. Two days can be spent diving at Osprey Reef, including North Horn, well known
for its shark action. You can expect to see grey whalers, silvertips, reef sharks, occasional hammerheads, schooling
barracuda, trevally, and other pelagics are common. The landscape is amazing with sheer walls laced with gorgonians,
sea whips, and bright yellow soft corals rising from thousands of feet below.
