Breathtaking
Never slept on a boat before and that was very relaxing. The night dive was by far the best dive of the trip. Saw a bunch of sharks and a sea turtle as well.

Highly recommend the Coral Sea Yacht
Dive Master Quentin exercised excellent instruction and good patience with his divers, all of whom had different levels of skill. The yacht provided comfortable accommodations, good food, and an intimate environment that allowed the very diverse and international group of twelve passengers to become acquainted and exchange stories. The Skipper chose excellent dive sites and freely shared his knowledge of the area -- meeting him (Todd) was a definite highlight, as were the excellent five dives!

Unique diving and sailboat experience
Naturally diving on the great barrier reef and the night dive were the bighest hightlights. We saw plenty of reef sharks, turtles, big barracudas, tunas, different trevallies & groupers, cuddle fish and much more. I was amazed how healthy the reefs still were. Service was excellent. Naturally as the boat is a sailing boat, the indoor area is limited. We knew this beforehand and felt the boat was very cozy.

A laid back escape with good people and amazing diving
The crew really make sure you get what you came for- an amazing dive experience. Its a welcoming, relaxed, no pressure trip with lots of opportunity to see a spectacular part of the reef. As an intro diver I felt very safe too.

Shark life was plentiful and dive sites were stunning.
