The Diving
These trips are the culmination of our fascinating weekly discoveries about deep sea nautilus, cuttlefish and octopus. Join the Cephalopod Expedition to experience the masters of camouflage and unique lifestyles and the ongoing, and very successful, search for new species. At Osprey and the Ribbon Reefs discover octopus lairs, cuttlefish mating, egg laying and defence and 'psychotic' planktonic cephalopods from the oceanic 'big blue' (black water hangs).
