“Awesome three days in Coral Bay! The variety of coral is breathtaking. So great to see a reef that is still thriving. Lots of big fish like sharks, rays, and groupers, but the wobegongs, cuttlefish, and octopus were my favorites. Several spots had interesting pass-throughs and giant coral configurations. On board everything was well set-up and the staff were excellent all round. Food was wonderful, including fresh baked bread! Recommended for: The diving/snorkeling was amazing and the food was awesome. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.
