Not a luxurious boat by any means but adequate. 4 heads shared by 18 guests (boat is a little bit crowded). The food is really excellent, the best I have had on a live aboard so far. Crew is great , very friendly and professional. The diving was outstanding especially if you like sharks and big fish with great viz in the Coral Sea (up to 50m!); we also had a fantasticexperience snorkelling with a dwarf minke whale - very healthy soft and hard corals, amazing walls at Osprey reef. What makes the operation different is that they have marine biologists on board who conduct lectures on various subjects of interest (corals, nautilus, sharks...). They also conduct some research on board and you can help if you are interested. |
