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.

We loved it, great service, great staff, great food, thoroughly enjoyed the diving.
The experience of the staff, particularly the Captain meant we got to dive the not so Far North Queensland reefs, when the options for Osprey were not possible due to the strong winds forecast. The staff made the most of the situation and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience .

Absolutely amazing
Feeding the giant cod and dive master Lorenzo brought me to the snake fit Reef and he took few pictures of me under the water. He's such a joy To be around with. All the crews were amazing.

Fun and memorable diving experience
3/5 dives a day, including two night dives across the trip. The crew was great and useful. The food was always amazing and provided lactose-free options. Other guests were fun and happy. The quad cabin was a bit tight when full.

Seriously, not enough stars
The crew. Hands down. I challenge you to find a better one. Professional yet fun and with a great dynamic between them all. They work hard! I stayed on for the three day trip but would have loved to stay longer. Diving was incredible, with a good variation in the dives and spacing for the "must see" stuff, so you could take a break if needed. I've done a bunch of liveaboards and this is the first that I would consider redoing. Thanks to everyone! #terry'sengineroomtour #terryisfamous
