Indian Ocean Diving Academy

Diving in really small groups on abysmal drop-offs, through fantastic coral gardens and in fairy-tale like caves. 2 worlds - 1 destination. Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands form Australia's most remote dive destination. The Indian Ocean Teritories. Dive where few have dived before. Christmas Island offers average temperatures around 28 degrees for most of the year, crystal clear visibility to 50 meters and the chance to see Whalesharks and other large pelages, spectacular coral growth and even the amazing coral spawning amongst a vast array of colorful tropical fish.

All I could think about was RED......
