Coral Sea Dreaming is a dream come true.
I am a 70 year old new diver that has had both hips and both knees replaced. The crew were so helpful and attentive and o my and my husbands needs. They helped us every way possible. It made our Great Barrier Dive trip so very enjoyable!

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.

Absolutely amazing two days with an awesome crew.
The scuba diving for the certified divers was absolutely amazing, as well as for my friends who did a few "Try Dives". The night dive is one of the coolest things i have done in my entire life, seeing sharks and other big fish feeding as well as the crazy colors of the corals under the UV light. Drinking wine and looking at the amazing stars at night was a big plus after a day in the water. Even while snorkeling, we were able to see octopus, sea turtles, and many other fish/coral.

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!

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.
