I would book it again but maybe longer
Very enjoyable trip. The crew were excellent. Made sure all aspects of the Scuba Diving experience was safe and fun. The Diving was good , visibility could have been better. When the planed dive site was not good the Captain changed the plan, and we had 2 great dives at Cod hole. Maria worked hard to feed us good meals. The Crew were always willingly to help. Good time. We even got to explore Lizard Island with Dora the explorer. The flight back over the Great Barrier Reef was the icing on the cake. Thanks Guys

Great trip to the Barrier Reef with a fantastic crew
The crew were fantastic, well informed; safety was paramount, but done so nicely. The diving was great, with plenty of sharks and well as lots of little fish and corals.
