The Cod Hole

About this dive site

Explore the water around Queensland

When visiting the Ribbon Reefs, a visit to the Cod Hole is an absolute must! You start by making an easy decent down to the sandy bottom around 8 meters, and then begin cruising towards the channel that separates Ribbon 10 from Cormorant reef. It usually doesn't;t take long before we are joined by an enormous resident Potato Cod. reaching up to 6 feet in length, and behaving like a labrador, these gentle giants are a sight to behold. After some selfie time with the Cod, we can continue exploring, the blue waters. Reef sharks are also often seen, along with schooling sweetlips and snapper. On the rare occasion that the current isn't too strong, we can venture out to the deeper area, where legend has it, pygymy seahorses can be found...
