Why don't you check with the Taka operators, Deep Sea Divers Den here in Cairns? www.diversden.com.au
Last time I went on Taka was in June this year for a Dwarf Minke Whale trip. Steamed up to the Ribbon Reefs on Thursday night and started diving first thing on Friday morning. Included a couple of dives at the Cod Hole on the Saturday which was great. Last dive about 4:00PM Sunday, back into Cairns early Monday morning. Almost 24 hours no flying time for you. Average depth around 25 metres, deepest around 30 metres. Recommend nitrox for multiple dive days, it cost extra.
Hi NautilusCairns,
Thank you for the info! We have already booked with Taka! Live aboard dates on March 5-9, 2015. Yay!!! We are definitely considering using Nitrox for all our dives.
Going back to my problem. Now that I need to take 24 hours of no-fly time. The flight that I can take is the 5:10am flight of Virgin Australia on March 10, 2015, which will arrive Sydney at 9:15am. Are the times usually accurate? Will we make our 11:45am flight back to Manila?
Thanks again!
