Taka

Taka is a 30 meter mono hull steel vessel which was specially rebuilt for extended live aboard dive travel. She has a cruising range of 5000 nautical miles, a water capacity of 38,000 liters and can make up to 3,000 liters of fresh water per day. She takes 30 passengers.

Taka Dive Adventures has been operating liveaboard dive trips for over 18 years to remote regions of Australia's Northern Great Barrier Reef, including the Cod Hole, Ribbon Reefs and Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea.

The common areas offer plenty of space and there are plasma screens, Denon Hi Fi equipment, in-house movies and PS2 for entertainment in the saloon.

Taka has 13 cabins in 4 categories. All cabins are air-conditioned. The Master Stateroom is located on the Ocean View Deck and is the most luxurious of the cabins onboard Taka, with twice the size of the Standard cabin, queen bed, ocean views, en-suite bathroom, personal temperature controls, a small lounge and a TV and DVD player.

The Double/Twin Ensuite cabins are also located on the Ocean View Deck and have a double bottom bunk with a single bunk above and feature ocean views, en-suite bathroom, personal temperature controls, a small lounge and a TV and DVD player.

Located on the lower deck, the Standard Twinshare and Quad cabins have upper and lower single bunks. They have shared bathroom facilities which are located on the middle (diving) deck.

Experience the magic of diving with the 'Giant Potato Cod' at the Cod Hole and visit some truly amazing sites up and down the Ribbon Reefs, located within the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Join the Shark action in the crystal clear waters of Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea.

The famous Cod Hole attracts divers from all over the world - combined with the Shark Feed at Osprey Reef, it is certainly a dive trip of a lifetime. Osprey reef in the Coral Sea is one of the most spectacular dive sites the world has to offer; boasting a diverse range of shark life all year round and pristine soft corals unlike anything you have ever seen before.

The amazing diving is not limited to the Coral Sea - diving along the Ribbon Reefs is also spectacular. Our frequent sightings include Manta Rays, Giant Australian Cuttlefish, Loggerhead and Green Turtles, Moray Eels, Red Flame File Shell, Lionfish, various Nudibranchs and the best Marine life the Great Barrier Reef has to offer. Nitrox and a full range of PADI courses are available onboard.
