Great liveaboard
Great liveaboard. The crew is accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. We had some weather that prevented us from being able to go to Osprey Reef, but the crew did a great job coming up with an itinerary that scratched the adventurous itch for us. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely awesome Live aboard
My wife and I had a trip on the Spirit of Freedom. Quite simply it was amazing. We went across two crews- both were brilliant teams who very clearly do a great job. Despite the bad weather the crew found great dive sites and made the trip unforgettable. Very clearly safety was a top priority. Food was absolutely delicious and they accommodated my wife's food requests. Accommodation was comfy. A little noisy down below (it's a running boat) but we always got a decent sleep. The diving on the ribbon reefs was amazing- so much coral and fish life. The night dive was out of this world. Non-diving highlights include the trivia night, engine room tour and the nighttime talks. Really good operation. Hope to come back in the future. Big thank you to the crews.

Very good would not have expected it to be so.
The whole week was great. The highlight were the unexpected things, e.g. Manta.

It was an insanely great experience that I would repeat at any time
The Shark Feed was awesome. In addition, the people you met, including the crew, who were totally nice and always helpful.The nitrox fillings and the rental equipment were very good, there is nothing wrong with it. The food was just great, always totally delicious.

Great First time on a Liveaboard with amazing diving and staff
This was our first experience with a liveaboard, and we had a blast! The staff gave us detailed dive site briefings and were attentive at ensuring we were properly equipped. We enjoyed great meals which gave us energy for the dives. The sites we visited were gorgeous from soft coral walls to vibrant shallow reefs. Definitely a memorable trip. This set the standard for a liveaboard.

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.

great trip
Excellent. Do this trip for the sharks. Otherwise, I think the St. Johns trip has better overall diving.
