Osprey Reef is the northernmost reef in the Coral Sea in Australia and is in pristine condition due to its remoteness. This dive site features a lagoon area and a deeper reef, which creates waters ideal for large pelagics. Pinnacles, swim-throughs, and overhangs are followed by huge gorgonian fans and corals of all types
