Spirit of Freedom, Australia

My highlights revolve around the amazing underwater sceneries, fauna and flora encountered during our dives. Specifically: spotting a Minky whale, seeing several sharks, sea snakes, etc.

1/ Super friendly team, 2/ Comfortable boat and 3/ Amazing dive sites

Atenção da equipe, a língua não foi obstáculo para desempenhar as tarefas de mergulho. Precisão nas realizações de tarefas, toda a equipe envolvida no seu bem estar. Alimentação, limpeza, a organização na minha avaliação foram perfeita. Voltaria com o maior prazer e recomendo a todos que queiram participar desta experiência .

Espirito de equipe, se superou atenciosos, limpeza, programação, completam a excelencia do serviço prestado

Dive, eat, dive, eat, and dive again. Outstanding service from the entire crew.

Diving team, dive sites, food

Intense, fun, smooth, easy diving, great places and great people.

The experienced and friendly crew, the prepared dives to avoid currents, the comfort of the ship

The Cod Hole dive was extremely cool, as those fish are big, dopey, and gentle. Sola is an amazing guide, pointing out tiny creatures that most divers would miss. Simon whipped up one amazing meal after another. Angus kept our safety first, but also snuck in a generous helping of humor and fun.

Safety-conscious crew, excellent food, tons of diving

the shark dive, the shallower dives for reef life, nudibranchs

The food, the dive masters, the equipment

Feeding the giant cod and dive master Lorenzo brought me to the snake fit Reef and he took few pictures of me under the water. He's such a joy To be around with. All the crews were amazing.

kindly DM，thanks for taking wonderful Photo for 船员和向导都超友善的，很棒的体验！

Flying up the Australian coast at 1500ft in a small plane to Lizard Island to meet the boat was an excellent way to start the week. So beautiful. The boat and crew is awesome. Super comfortable boat with outstanding food! The crew is simply first class, truly professional with your safety and comfort always first in their minds. Incredible dive knowledge and knowledge of the dive sites. Might be the most professionally run live-aboard we've ever been on. Osprey Reef is an amazing spot to dive that few will ever get the chance to visit. We are so lucky to have been.

The diving was absolutely amazing. Every crew member went out of their way to make sure it was a great experience.

The dive sites are unique. Nothing like I have ever seen before. Visibility over 50m, massive walls and beautiful topography.

dives, crew, safety

The crew were simply amazing. Despite having a boat with many beginner divers, the crew made sure everyone was safe while giving the experienced divers the freedom to safely enjoy the reef. It was Christmas week and the crew went out of their way to make sure we celebrated in style including a visit from Santa. The dive sites were world-class, particularly Osprey Reef. This is diving at it's best. We had amazing experiences with cuttlefish, sharks, turtles, and a reef full of life.

Shark feeding. Saw a hammerhead. The food was spectacular. The crew was very professional and they all love their jobs!

Diving, food, crew

We saw a school of Napoleon Wrasses that just took my breath away, the shark feeding was certainly an experience we have not seen in more than 400 dives. We also loved to watch the videos and pictures displayed at meals of the day's diving adventures.

Diving crew, diving, and food.

The shark feed and Cod Hole dives. The rest were boring and very disappointing. When I asked before the trip if the drinks were included I was told that beer and wine was included but not spirits. This was incorrect, only one drink was provided with dinner which I thought was very poor for the amount we had paid for the trip..

Food, comfort, staff.

Seeing giant clams, see snakes, sharks, groups of cuttlefish, large schools of barracuda. Renewing my confidence about diving in an unfamiliar environment with highly knowledgable staff including Rachel, Sarah and Angus. Angus had a great sense of humour which was contagious. Sarah's in depth knowledge of the reef biology was key. Rachel was an excellent role model in and out of the water for all divers

Dive staff safety and fun emphasis, hosting staff was friendly and we got personalized attention, knowledgable dive staff

The rich variety of fish- and creature- reef life throughout of trip was striking, especially the dives at Steve's Bommie and Snake Pit, as was the good condition of the reefs. The coral formations at the sites we visited were still relatively vibrant and colorful. And the dive staff were uniformly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

The friendly and helpful service of the staff, the critter-finding skills of Rachel and the dive masters, and the excellent food prepared by Rodrigo.

I saw my first hammer head shark, the most amount of sea snakes I have ever seen in one spot, the food on board was great and plentiful

The company, amazing dive sights, the professionalism of the crew and high quality equiment

Awesome trip, the best thing I met in cabin was the service provided by lovely cabin crews. All of them are friendly and hospitable.

Amazing organization, amazing food, very professional set-up. Is the best liveaboard I have done so far. Really recommended.

Amazing diving sites, very efficient and friendly crew, comfortable boat

Seeing a reef shark close up on the night dive!

The reef, the crew and second breakfast!

Steve's Bommie and lighthouse Bommie dive sites are great. Got to try night dive for the first time. Met other divers and able to socialize on the boat. Not highlight: our stateroom is right above the engine and it's very noisy at night while the boat was moving. We couldn't get proper sleep.

Staff are great, some dive sites are great, food was great

it was awesome.

Enjoyable despite disappointment of not being able to go to Osprey.

Crew, weather, diving

A very memorable trip, with very interesting and friendly fellow divers. We bonded in a very short time and the crew couldn't have been more helpful. I intend to go again.

1. The dive sites. 2. The crew. 3 the food.

Greeaaaaat! The crew was awesome. Rachel, Amy, Tamir, the wonderful cook Cassey, everybody was so helpful and we had a really great time. The food was really delicious and I had no issue at all with my allergies. The crowd on the boat was really pleasant, we had a very good time above the water too. The dive sites were just great, the coral was beautiful, the sharks were numerous, the passing hammer shark was unbelievable :-) Thanks to all of you! :-)

no stress, best rest between dives, friendlyness, excellent food

Very Good. Am sensitive to mold and strong cleaning supplies so even though the boat was very clean you could smell the cleaning solution as as you walked on board. There was a slight moldy/musty smell in the closet and around the wood. Used essential oils. East access to the water form the boat. Nitrox fills were great . Overall it was a great trip.

the dives, the crew and the chef willing to make meal alternatives arooud food preferences and sensitivities

I wish I could give the 5 stars to the cabin but who ever decided it was a good idea not to put a ladder up for the upper bunk bed should be ashamed . In a rolling bumpy boat in the middle of the night getting off from the upper bed provided me with multiple bruises . It can't cost much to make one ! The cabin itself was nice and was comfortable . The boat was great and allowed room for relaxing and camera review or just to take a nap on the upper sun deck. Very wonderful and spacious . Handled the rough waters very well I felt very safe .( until I had to get off the upper bed) that was the most hazardous thing I had to do for the entire trip)

Great

The food, the organisation of the crew, the variations of types of dives

It was a great experience having never done a liveaboard trip before. The plane journey out was the perfect start. The diving was good but I have been to better locations. The open sea journeys are pretty awful if you are not use to sailing or being on boats for long periods so make sure you are prepared. The food was great as was the crew. It's a wonderful experience but is a little on the expensive side for what it was.

The shark feed dive, the food and the crew.

The whole trip was awesome. Loved the trip on the small plane out to Lizard island. The boat was very well run, the crew were very professional, but took the time to get to know everyone. The choice of dive sites was great, especially North Horn where they did the shark feeding dive. The food was fantastic, an amazing chef, we were well looked after! The dive briefings were very good, Jack was very knowledgable and organised the diving well. Safety procedures were the best we've seen. Can't wait to do the trip again!

Amazing diving, fantastic, friendly crew, comfortable cabins

Great experience, great crew, great program. It's nice to see that the crew is just as enthusiastic as the guests. Gear was of good quality and safety was taken very seriously. Will definitely return one day. Roger

The trip, the enthusiasm of the crew, the food

Good. My only complaint is that Expectations weren't met on diversity of dive sites. We had two full dive days and granted 1 day was hampered by a medical emergency but the other day was not and we did the same reef 3 times out of 5 dives. That was disappointing.

Comfort, Food, Crew

great vegetarian food options, friendly staff, great diving
