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.
