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.

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.
