Best dive trip of my life! My expectations were high because I learned to scuba to dive the GBR! Expectations EXCEEDED!
It was amazing and truly a trip of a lifetime!! We went to multiple sites and not only was I able to see SO MUCH health vibrant coral, but the host prepared us for the types of sea life to look for. I felt fully prepared to navigate each site with my buddy, and knew that the staff was watching closely if we needed support. I was well fed, hydrated, and encouraged to ask questions and learn from the reef experts on board! I even got free professional photographs. I would 100% recommend Spirit of Freedom to anybody passionate about an incredible dive experience at the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea!

A great liveaboard to experience the coral sea!
Generaly a great trip on a good boat with a very friendly and attentive crew. The rental equipement was well taken care of and the dive sites were very nice. The dives are not guided, which gives a lot of freedom to explore at your own pace and enjoy as you wish. A few dive guides still come in the water and are there to show show some hiden life which you might miss otherwise. The food onboard was just next level, some of the best I had on liveaboards.

Barrier Reef at its best with SoF
we had an amazing time with Leo and the team. the whole crew is super friendly and experienced and we loved every minute spent on board. Food was delicious. There is limited space to dry your towels but it is minor issue. Definitely we will come back to visit outer reef with SoF.

Overall a fantastic & well organized dive trip!
We did the 4 nights / 5 day tour. Very good boat, well organized dive & safety procedures and professional crew. All dives where very good despite the fact that we couldn't make it to Osprey Reef due to weather conditions. With wind speeds up to 50 knots definitely the right decision. So overall a fantastic & well organized dive trip.
