12/10 I highly recommend and can’t wait to come back

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Easily exceeded my expectations which were high. The Spirit of Freedom crew is what really sets this trip apart. They’re very nice, patient, professional, and go above and beyond to make everyone feel safe and supported. The boat itself is pretty comfortable and well maintained with enough space to relax between dives. Cabins are cozy and the communal areas are perfect for swapping stories after an epic day underwater. The food is fresh, flavorful, and far better than what you’d expect on a liveaboard in the middle of the Coral Sea. As for the diving, simply world-class. From dramatic reef walls to shark action at Osprey Reef, every dive site delivered. Conditions were fantastic and the briefings were spot on, with safety always a top priority. The crew is equipped with just the right amount of humor to also keep the briefings engaging and fun. If you’re looking for a dive trip that balances adventure, comfort, and top-tier service, this is it. Can’t recommend it highly enough. I will be back!

Boat crew made it happen!

I would love to have had a deck towel. Only after arriving I realized it mentioned in the paperwork to bring my own, and I totally missed it. I have never been on a live aboard that did not supply a dry deck towel. When weather is rainy and bad, dry towels would have been a HUGE treat in our cabins. The boat is in need of a refresh!
