Spirit of Freedom, a life time experience
This was one of the best experiences of my life. The cabins were comfortable, as was the rest of the boat. Safety was clearly part of the culture. Everything diving related was fun, but taken seriously. The crew were so helpful and ensured everyone got the most out of every day.

Education, support, excellent food, superb crew, expert trip management
The crew were very supportive of my skill level. They monitored the weather, water, and tide conditions and made decisions to take best advantage of those conditions. I was astounded by the requirements of the crew - they did everything - cleaning, diving, dishes, tank refills, gear management, and administrative duties - super impressive! The Great Barrier Reef is a lifetime dream and the crew made sure that it was everything I could have dreamed of! They provided education that added to the appreciation of one of the great wonders of our planet and encouraged an attitude of responsibility with love. Amazing experience!!!

Best Part of Our Trip
We loved everything about this trip - the crew was amazing (Michelle the Director was hilarious), the food was great and there was tons of variety (we probably gained 5 lbs), we loved all the other passengers on the boat, our room was very comfortable (we were in a 4 bed shared) and the dive sites were gorgeous.

A splendid, memorable week in the Northern Coral Seas beyond the Great Barrier Reef
We experienced a moment of perfect weather enabling us to visit all three Coral Sea reef systems: Osprey Reef-Holmes Reef and Bourganville(?). On one dive, visibility seemed forever--30 meters. Unbelieveably clear, brilliant sea swarming with schools of fusiliers, trevallies. Corals seem healthier, fish life was plentiful.

Amazing Experience
This was a great trip - We did the 5 day Coral Sea & Ribbon Reefs Adventure and had a wonderful experience. The crew was amazing, the dive sites were out of this world, and the boat was great (food, bunk etc).
