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.

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.

An awesome experience
The whole trip was awesome. Loved the trip on the small plane out to Lizard island. The boat was very well run, the crew were very professional, but took the time to get to know everyone. The choice of dive sites was great, especially North Horn where they did the shark feeding dive. The food was fantastic, an amazing chef, we were well looked after! The dive briefings were very good, Jack was very knowledgable and organised the diving well. Safety procedures were the best we've seen. Can't wait to do the trip again!

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.

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.
