Overall Rating

An excellent vessel for "serious" divers who want to see parts of
the Great Barrier Reef that others don't get to. The boat was adequately
spacious for all guests to be comfortable and although the cabins  lacked
"en suite" facilities this was not a problem because there were
sufficient showers and wash rooms elsewhere.The Australian/European crew of
5 were very friendly helpful and professional.The food was excellent as was
the diving the highlight being Osprey Reef where there was an abundance of
White Tip and Grey Reef Sharks and many of the largest Potato Cod that one
is likely to see. A large Manta Ray was also seen here. The reefs are in
good in condition with a great variety of fish and no shortage of macro
subjects.A particular feature of this vessel is that it carries out
Nautilus and Shark research and so a Marine Biologist was on board and gave
relevant and most interesting lectures between dives most afternoons. If
you want to dive the GBR do it from this boat.
