divers from all over the world combined with the Shark Feed at
Osprey Reef is certainly a dive trip of a lifetime. |
| Osprey reef in
the Coral Sea is one of the most spectacular dive sites in the
world. Offering a diverse range of shark life all year round and
pristine soft coral unlike anything you have ever seen before. |
