Ty begins his trip diving the most well-known site on the Great Barrier Reef — Cod Hole on Ribbon Reef #10. From there, he moves on to Osprey Reef, where he sees several hammerheads circling, as well as a pod of orcas! The next day he goes on a shark feeding dive, where he sees a “disappointing” number of (“only about 40 or 50”) whitetip and gray reef sharks; the day after that, members of the dive boat see mating cuttlefish, a minke whale, and green sea turtles. He ends his trip off Lord Howe Island, the southernmost coral reef in the world, which – as you might imagine – yields amazing diving and provides closure to a remarkable story.
