Arizonan on the Great barrier reef
Incredibly professional and helpful crew. From top to bottom. The food was amazing, Andreas is incredible cook. The dives were well organized, changes were made as needed due to weather etc to keep us in the water and seeing cool things. The ship was well organized and the concern for safety both on board and well diving was impressive. Incredibly fun group of divers and crew.

Stellar experience! Great boat and crew!
We had an inside cabin with no windows and it was fine. I thought I might be uncomfortable but we only were in the room to sleep. This is my 4th liveaboard and it was a great experience! The crew is absolutley top notch. Chef created delicious meals and even made me gluten free options like a pizza and pancakes! He made my husband fruit salad for desert because he cannot eat sugar. Lots of good food and snacks. Our dive asters were terrific, keeping a good eye on everyone and very enthusiastic even tho they must have done this 1000 times! Leo was our cheerful major domo and we were very well prepared for every dive. Equiptment was really good ( I've been on boats where it wasn't!). We saw amazing animals, Minke whales, huge oceanic Mantas and a Whale Shark! Definitely the highlight of of our trip.

Don't hesitate, pull the trigger and book. This is a great boat and well put together crew.
I was completely relaxed the entire time. The Stars at night were better than anything I have seen in my life, and the diving was better.

First Liveaboard experience was great!
We enjoyed the SOF in every way, from the knowledgeable and friendly staff, talented cook and amazing dive sites. We were a bit nervous about the lack of dive guides, i.e., no specific dive guide to follow, but the dive briefings, dive site "management", DMs in the water and overall their concern for our safety was reassuring and positive.

An incredible experience in all measurable ways!
The service is incredible from the minute you are picked up on the bus to head to the boat/airport until the minute you are dropped off. I have never been with a more fun, competent, and professional crew! They had us laughing, totally and completely taken care of, great divers, and overall, they understand how to make sure you have an incredible "experience." So impressed! It's also tough not to go on and on about the food and how often they fed us! First breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner. Incredible timing with all the dives, and the chef is amazing. What that man could create in such a small galley is beyond me! If you are booking or considering the trip, it's because the diving will be incredible, and you know it. I was not disappointed; I was just astounded. If you like sharks, every. Single. Dive!
