Great Barrier Reef did not disappoint
We booked the 7-day dive trip and it was a fantastic trip. The crew did everything right to ensure a positive and relaxing dive experience. I specifically appreciated the care and concern they showed for the Reef itself and the guests on board. We had the adventure of sailing and diving during a King tide event and the crew made great strides to ensure a SAFE and successful dive experience. The GBR itself did not disappoint: varied coral, sea life, fish, turtles, sharks, and more. I can't wait to return!

Minke Whales, Great Reefs, and Top-Notch Service
Had a wonderful trip aboard the Spirit of Freedom. The boat was top-notch, and the crew was both professional and friendly. The dive team was highly experienced and focused on safety. It’s worth noting that dives are mostly unguided, though a dive master will gladly jump in with you if you don't have a buddy. The diving was great—the reefs were surprisingly healthy and far exceeded expectations. While it was a shame weather kept us from reaching Osprey Reef, getting to swim with minke whales was an unforgettable highlight! Top it off with fantastic food, and I would definitely love to come back for another trip.

Exceptional crew and boat
The crew and boat are exceptional! Friendly, professional, and safety focused. I liked the ability to explore independently with my buddy, while the crew safety divers were available for those that wanted a guide. The boat itself was comfortable and clean, and the food was excellent.

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.

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.
