Unforgettable scuba diving at a great price
It was a great collection of people, a very small group of folks that made for a very pleasant diving experience. I was the only diver on board, the rest were snorkeling, so I had the three divemasters to myself!

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.

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.

Discovery of the GBR
We enjoyed 2 days 1 night liveaboard to Hastings Reef and Michaelmas Cay. Although the weather wasn't the best, we had a cool experience with all the guys, ready to support us every moment we needed. We spotted some reef sharks, nemos and colourful corals. The vessel was right for a small and intimate group. Thank you and hope to see you again

Great experience for whole family
Skipper Chris was very kind and helpful to offer to guide and held onto our young Son (5 years old) out for his first snorkeling in the reef while we guided our elder daughter (8 years old) along. Chris even lent my Son his personal snorkeling gears. My Son was delighted to see turtle, giant clams and colourful fishes on his first trip. A big thanks to Chris for the great experience for the whole family.
