A splendid, memorable week in the Northern Coral Seas beyond the Great Barrier Reef
We experienced a moment of perfect weather enabling us to visit all three Coral Sea reef systems: Osprey Reef-Holmes Reef and Bourganville(?). On one dive, visibility seemed forever--30 meters. Unbelieveably clear, brilliant sea swarming with schools of fusiliers, trevallies. Corals seem healthier, fish life was plentiful.

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.

Do not pick another boat. For the price point is perfect.
The diving was spectacular. The boat quarters are tight but clean. Minke whales were awesome. You should do the trips with more nights.

A wonderful trip
The diving spots at the Osprey reef and the Bougainville reef were particularly awesome. Underwater landscape were magic with a beautiful fauna, huge walls, colorful corals, tunnels in the reefs to explore and the deep blue of the ocean with a long range visibility that I never experienced before.
