Cork Sub Aqua Club

One great aspect of being a CorkSAC member is that you acquire skills that open up a whole world of diving in exotic locations. One such location is the Great Barrier Reef.

There are numerous  operators offering access to this world heritage site (one so vast that it is visible from space). Last August two CorkSAC members took a liveaboard out of Cairns with the Deep Sea Divers Den (http://www.diversden.com.au).

Deep Sea Divers Den differ from many operators in that their live-aboard boat, Ocean Quest, stays at sea. Clients are transferred daily on a shuttle boat. Their setup offers a rare degree of flexibility as divers can choose a trip of any duration departing any day of the week.

Facilities on the boat were excellent and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Ocean Quest dives on Norman & Saxon Reefs which are busy dive sites but offer a great chance to see many tropical favourites as can be seen in the following video.
