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.

Highly recommend and a fabulous trip!
This was our first liveabaord and it was fantastic! The crew made us always feel safe when diving with great briefings and the ease of gearing up to dive made it super easy. Great dive equipment that is well maintained. Nice cabin accommodations and plenty of room to relax. The food was amazing as the chefs truly outdid themselves. Even with the stormy weather the dive crew always found safe places for us to dive. The trip director was fabulous! Enjoyed the after dinner ocean talks, learned a lot!

An unforgettable adventure!
The crew truly made this trip an unforgettable and special experience. Having a master reef guide like Jamie was fascinating, he pointed out so many magnificent creatures and his knowledge was incredible. The Finnderella service was fantastic, it made entering and exiting the water a cinch. The food was fantastic, the crew were lots of fun and full of enthusiasm.
