Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“The experience of a lifetime!! We had the best time on board. It really is surreal to wake up in the middle of nowhere, with the great barrier reef at your feet. It was all made better by the super friendly and knowledgeable crew that made us feel comfortable and safe, while having the best time. The food was fantastic too. Really could not recommend this more highly.”
Recommended for: Fantastic crew. Gorgeous dive spots. Delicious food.
