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.

Sleep, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, and dive and eat some more.
This was an exceptional experience. Great value for the money in the sense that the boat, crew, food, diving, and the whole experience was top-notch. They delivered exactly as promised, which was sleep, eat and dive.

Arizonan on the Great barrier reef
Incredibly professional and helpful crew. From top to bottom. The food was amazing, Andreas is incredible cook. The dives were well organized, changes were made as needed due to weather etc to keep us in the water and seeing cool things. The ship was well organized and the concern for safety both on board and well diving was impressive. Incredibly fun group of divers and crew.

Amazing Experience
This was a great trip - We did the 5 day Coral Sea & Ribbon Reefs Adventure and had a wonderful experience. The crew was amazing, the dive sites were out of this world, and the boat was great (food, bunk etc).

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.

Fantastic trip that truly maximized our time on the GBR
Diving at the Cod Hole- not only to see the friendly potato Cod but for the incredible corals! The night dive was also the best I’ve done. The whole trip was a highlight, we wished we could stay for more days.
