Unforgettable dive trip
Diving new and exciting sites, learning to spot new critters I never would have known were there, gaining my AOW felt so supported along the journey. Being new to diving was apprehensive to start the crew were outstanding in alleviating any apprehension I had so I could go and fully enjoy my experience. I will be back for more - planning my next trip

A great experience
This was an incredible trip that I feel so grateful to have experienced. Even though the weather conditions were undesirable, the crew ensured we still had an incredible trip. Each meal was delicious, the cabins were comfortable and crew were fun, knowledgeable and reassuring. I’d rebook this trip again in a heartbeat!

Best Part of Our Trip
We loved everything about this trip - the crew was amazing (Michelle the Director was hilarious), the food was great and there was tons of variety (we probably gained 5 lbs), we loved all the other passengers on the boat, our room was very comfortable (we were in a 4 bed shared) and the dive sites were gorgeous.

The dives were amazing. So many fish and other creatures to see. The coral was bright and beautiful. An exhausting amount of diving, but the crew was there making every moment great. Highly recommend Spirit of Freedom!

Great trip to the Barrier Reef with a fantastic crew
The crew were fantastic, well informed; safety was paramount, but done so nicely. The diving was great, with plenty of sharks and well as lots of little fish and corals.
