Ribbon Reef Expedition Diving, Health Professionals, Outdoor Activity, Yoga
Ribbon Reef, QueenslandJoin as we set sail on a magical adventure exploring this stunning and rarely visited chain of ten spectacular reefs, exploring our hidden depths as we dive deep into breathwork, self discovery and crystal blue waters.
The Ribbon Reef
Lying on the outer edges of the Great Barrier Reef, the Ribbon Reefs are home to some of the worlds most famous dive sites.
The reefs here thankfully have very little human contact, which has ensured that they can support an outstanding range of biodiversity and marine life for divers and snorkelers. Depth varies anywhere from 5 – 35M, making this a perfect destination for free divers of all experience levels.
There are dozens of unique dive sites within the Ribbon Reefs, including drift dives, wall dives, swim throughs, caves and exploring colourful coral gardens and bommies. With great visibility all year round you’ll be sure to witness as many of the GBR’s 1500 fish and 400 coral species as possible. Much of this life will be encountered in shallow waters between 23 and 29 degrees, and in fact it is rare that you’ll be diving deeper than 20 metres, except when practicing line diving of course.
Upcoming Retreat Dates:
- 6th – 10th July 2023

Good For
Join us as we set sail on a magical expedition. There are very few places on the planet that can match the wonder that exists here, both above and below.
So what better place to reconnect with yourself, nature and the power of both?
Take in the crystal clear waters, marvel at the marine life that surrounds us, explore the watery world below and connect with nature on a deeper level before returning to land with different eyes to when you left.
Deepen your personal connection with the natural world through daily freediving, snorkelling, yoga and breathwork classes. Observe the natural beauty of the reef from above, learn from experienced island guides, watch as humpback whales and manta rays pass by on their annual migration and then dive deep into the night before resurfacing and returning to the real world, refreshed, rejuvenated and refocused.
