Great cursing at Great Barrier Leaf
I could join this trip alone while other booking mostly I could apply from 2persons. On the boat, I could see many attractive guests and crews so that I enjoyed all my cruising and diving at Great Barrier Leaf. I really appreciate for all members on the boat and hope I can travel together somewhere.

The amazing access to the spectacle of the reef. However it was the intimate and personal setting where we shared our experience and time aboard with the team that created a wonderful environment for the trip.

great fun. rekindled our interest in scuba and snorkeling
what a wonderful 2 days. Jan was perfect as our dry host, the food, though plain, was plentiful and tasty, the diving was amazing, personal attention when we had diving problems were fantastic, and it's hard to beat snorkeling and diving on the GBR.

My first Liveaboard experience - had a blast!
Seeing dolphins and the amazing stars! The Scuba night dive was super fun as well. I don't know if I would go back to this area though as the coral is rather bleached.

Wonderful to experience the Great Barrier Reef with the Coral Sea Dreaming team who went way beyond expectations to make us comfortable, safe and provided excellent service and delicious food.
The Great Barrier Reef is alive and well and there are responsible custodians taking care of it for future generations to enjoy and appreciate the diversity of life.
