About this site
Osprey Reef is an isolated coral atoll rising from the Coral Sea, well offshore from Australia's Great Barrier Reef and reached mainly by liveaboard out of Cairns or Port Douglas. It is a ring-shaped reef system with steep walls dropping into deep ocean water, sitting far from the mainland shelf. Its remoteness is a defining feature, since it lies well beyond day-trip range and is visited mostly by dedicated Coral Sea liveaboard itineraries.
