Dive the Great Barrier Reef 

Tusa Dive - Spirit of Freedom Cod Hole, Coral Sea & Ribbon Reef Trips

Spirit of Freedom is Australia's largest live-aboard dive vessel on the Great Barrier Reef. It features three decks of spacious comfort including a sun deck, lounge and bar, dining saloon, and huge dive deck. Equipped with electronic stabilisers, silent generators, and fully air-conditioned throughout, the Spirit offers smooth and comfortable cruising. 

Be prepared for an amazing range of scuba diving in Australia 's Coral Sea. Your first day will include a couple of orientation dives to get you familiar with diving on the Great Barrier  Reef before travelling out to the oceanic wilderness of the Coral Sea. To the south east, east and north east of Cairns and at least 100km offshore from the Great Barrier Reef, lie Australia's pristine Coral Sea Reefs. Spirit of Freedom will travel to two Coral Sea Reef systems for 3 days of scuba diving in Australia's best locations for diving. Destinations are selected according to the weather in order to provide you the best scuba diving in Australia, the most comfortable conditions and maximum dive time.

A couple of exploratory dives will always be included in this itinerary. Scuba diving locations will vary from 3,000 foot walls to magical coral gardens and lone seamounts emerging from the ocean depths. The water you'll be scuba diving in will be extremely clear (15 metres visibility on a bad day) and the fish life will include sharks, barracuda, rays as well as the exotic cuttlefish, sea hares and starry morays. The 3 day/3 night dive adventure on board Spirit of Freedom will take you to the premier Cod Hole and Ribbon Reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, some of the best scuba diving sites Australia has to offer. The 'Ribbons' are a string of 10 coral reefs stretching over 100 miles to the north of Cairns. Awaiting you are picturesque coral gardens and isolated sand patches crowned in delicate corals, anemones, and colourful reef fish to give you the ultimate in Australian scuba diving. The Cod Hole lies at the top of the Ribbon Reefs, and is home to a family of Potato Cod (Groper). These diver friendly fish will amaze you with their sheer size and eagerness to pose for camera. For those with a little more time, the 7 day trip offers a great combination of the two trips - the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. While the diving may be out of this world, the facilities and service on board will enhance your Australian scuba diving experience.

Roomy double or twin share cabins, all with private en-suite and individual temperature control, make a comfortable retreat at the end of your day's scuba diving. Delicious chef prepared meals can be enjoyed throughout the day and complimentary Australian wines are offered with dinner. There is also a comprehensive marine library, VCR/DVD movies, and a fully stocked bar for relaxation after diving. Nitrox fills, camera hire, and CD downloading are also available on board. 

A multi-talented and professional crew will look after your in and out of water needs on board Spirit of Freedom. The dive team are experienced locals who are only too happy to share their extensive reef knowledge as well as a little 'Aussie' humour.
