About Spirit Of Freedom 3 Day Cod Hole

Board the Spirit Of Freedom for a thrilling 3-night liveaboard dive adventure that takes you from Cairns along the remote Ribbon Reefs to the legendary Cod Hole, 240 km north. This weekly Thursday departure offers an unforgettable blend of world-class diving, gourmet dining, and the freedom of life at sea on the Great Barrier Reef.

Local Legends & Stories

Cod Hole gets its name from the enormous giant trevally that congregate in the underwater cave system, drawing divers from around the globe. The Ribbon Reefs have long been part of Traditional Owner sea country, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples holding deep cultural connections to these waters.

Hidden Gems
