TAKA operates to remote regions of
Australia's Great Barrier Reef. They dive with the giant Potato Cod
at the Cod Hole, feed the sharks in the crystal clear waters of Osprey
Reef in the Coral Sea, and visit some truly amazing sites up and down
the Ribbons Reef. |
|
The Cod Hole is situated north past
Cooktown and almost opposite Lizard Island. The Cod Hole is a reef
that got its name from the large potato cods that frequent it. The
potato Cods grow to a massive 600 pounds and during the Cod feedings
it is not uncommon to be surrounded by more then ten of these beautiful
creatures. The Cod Hole is one of the few places in the world where
giant potato cods are hand fed.

WHAT ARE "TAKA'S" SPECIAL FEATURES?
|
|
Bulbous bow
The bulbous bow allows for a finer entry into the water, and keeps
the nose of the vessel level, which in turn stabilizes the entire
hull.
|
|
Hull Stability
The extra wide beam allows more room inside the vessel, and this
coupled with the ballast tank arrangement prevent rolling while
on anchor.
|
|
MTU V12 main engine
We have more power than is needed, so we are able to run at reduced
revs, keeping the noise levels down and still maintaining good speed.
|
|
Bow and Stern Thrusters
These mean we can move away from a dive site in an emergency while
divers are still in the water with no danger from the propeller.
|
|
Internet Café
We have used the latest technology to be able to provide internet
access from 90% of our dive locations. Passengers shall be able
to e-mail home their digital images almost immediately after a dive.
