Wednesday:
This morning we
will dive the Cod Hole. This is a popular dive site
famous for it's resident family of large Potato Cod,
(Groper). Good opportunity for photographers. We
may also dive Dynamite Pass, possibly as a drift
dive, well known as a channel for sharks cruising
from the Coral Sea to the Barrier Reef. This afternoon
we may dive Lighthouse Bommie, where Golden sea snakes
are frequently sighted. In the spring months this
site is also a Manta Ray cleaning station. Other
sites we may visit today include Challenger Bay and
Pixie Wall. This evening we cruise into Watson's
Bay on Lizard Island where we will overnight in the
lea of the island.
Thursday:
After a hearty breakfast you will have the opportunity
to go ashore and explore Lizard Island . At 10:30am
you will board a twin-engine light aircraft at Lizard
Island for your low level flight over the reef back
to Cairns . Arriving back at Cairns airport at about
11:30am, our courtesy coach will
meet you for your transfer back to your Cairns city
hotel.
