Cod Hole, Recreational dive site at Ribbon Reef #10, Queensland, Australia
Cod Hole is a dive site located at Ribbon Reef 10 in Queensland, with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters. The waters are clear and lined with coral formations that rise along the reef walls.
This site was documented by marine photographers Valerie and Ron Taylor in the early 2000s. Their work brought international recognition to the dive location and highlighted its importance.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority designates this site as a Sensitive Location, limiting dive groups to 60 people for conservation.
Multi-day diving trips depart from Cairns with professional guides for certified divers. Most visitors come during drier months when water conditions are most stable.
Giant potato cod fish weighing up to 100 kilograms regularly approach divers during organized feeding sessions on the seafloor. These curious fish make every dive an encounter with gentle ocean giants.
