Every year CCD arranges dive travel with Australia’s foremost dive travel specialist to several exotic dive locations, around the world.
We have been to places like;
North Sulawesi, which is part of the coral triangle known affectionately as “The Critter Capital of the World” and “The Twilight Zone” where expectations of rare and unusual marine life is extremely high.
Antarctica might not be on many peoples travel list, but the animal life is extraordinary and diving is just as thrilling!
Fiji has some of the worlds best dive sites and a thrilling shark dive in Beqa lagoon.
South Africa is now a “go to” destination following the Sardine Run in June or July. Here we can combine the Big Five on land- Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Giraffe and Leopard with the big five underwater- Tiger sharks, Oceanic Blacktips, Raggy Tooths and Zambesi or Bull sharks, along with the legendary Giant hammerhead sharks.
Micronesia If wrecks are your ideal, then look no further than Truk Lagoon for a massive collection of sunken ships- Bikini Atoll and Sri Lanka are now becoming more popular with easier access.
Vanuatu to dive the corals reefs of Port Vila and the magnificent wreck of the President Coolidge in Santo. Why not stroll up a mountain and gaze into an active volcano in the ring of fire.
Bikini Atoll is a truly marvellous wreck diving arena,
Great Barrier Reef Australia's very own water wonderland. The largest colony of animals visible from space.
Raja Ampat in West Papua is a divers dream as are the reefs around Cebu and Puerta Gallera in the Philippines.
Palau has awesome wall diving in with myriads of fish life, Coral diving in the Philippines and turtle diving in Malaysia off the island of Sipidan are special treats meanwhile, New Zealand diving is just a few hours away and you can combine snow skiing with ice diving in lakes and fjords..
My Gambier Cave diving attracts a select type of diver and Mt Gambier is famous for its massive cave systems as is Thailand and the Florida regions but diving the Cenotes in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico is all the buzz.
For the most leisurely type of international travel diving- Liveaboards take the prize. Wake up to a glorious sunrise over the ocean, grab a coffee and go diving, have breakfast- go diving, enjoy a snack- go diving, have a break for lunch, then more diving.
It doesn’t stop there, because the afternoon and even diving at night is awaiting you- all from the comfort and closeness of a boat up top, waiting for you.
Our regular trips to the Great Barrier reef, Maldives, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines and the majestic Solomon Islands, have awesome live aboard dive boats.

Our experienced tour escort guides, have visited these regions. They have previously dived the best dive sites and relaxed around resort pools enjoying a cocktail or two- They reminisce great diving adventures from the day and keep everyone informed of the next days events.
We offer small group travel, family orientated, with leisure in mind but adventure in diving, drift diving with the currents, not against and fishlife you have to see, to comprehend.
Non Divers are not left out- there are snorkelling areas, day spas, local custom villages, markets, shopping centres and various adventure sports, that can be enjoyed topside, or simply grabbing a good book and laying by the ocean under a shady tree or the resort pool, enjoying the ambience of the surrounding scenery.
