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!

Our first LiveAboard experience and it was perfect
This was our first LiveAboard dive experience. The length of the trip was perfect for us.. The guides were helpful, friendly, and all about safety. Food was great and plenty to eat. Getting a hot shower at the end of diving was great and having AC in the rooms at night made sleeping comfortable.

Great crew on Coral Seas Dreaming
While I had high expectations for the dive, I was a bit disappointed in the reefs and sea life. Not the fault of Coral Sea Dreaming, had just hoped for better visibility and some “wow” memories.

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.
