We loved it, great service, great staff, great food, thoroughly enjoyed the diving.
The experience of the staff, particularly the Captain meant we got to dive the not so Far North Queensland reefs, when the options for Osprey were not possible due to the strong winds forecast. The staff made the most of the situation and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience .

Flight from cairns into Lizard Island Amazing and varied dives, including night dive Co-ordination of the whole trip, which has to be relatively flexible. Professionalism and care, and great experiences with the crew. Food was also fab - chefs were on it!

Fantastic time!
Our group had a great time on Spirit of Freedom. You start diving the day you get on the boat, which you don't do on every liveaboard. The crew was great and the food was amazing.

Great
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! :-)

Spirit of Freedom is one of the best dive experience in Cairns
Highlights - STAFF. They went above and beyond in taking care of each diver and ensuring that we have the best experience. They make sure you have a great vacation experience. Super friendly and knows how to have fun - FOOD. Eating 4-5 delicious meals a day. Different cuisines. Will accommodate to your dietary needs. Chef was incredible. - DIVE. They pick the best dive spots in the Great Barrier Reef, considering the weather. They will help you if you need a refresher. They will take great photos for you (although you can bring your own gopro/camera). All the gear is great quality. I can't praise Spirit of Freedom enough for an amazing experience.
