My partner and I just got back from the 3 day/3 night liveaboard and I must say it was not worth the cost. We had to hire our dive gear but owning our own fins and snorkel did not take money off the price of hire. They charge $10 per use of a dive torch for night dives hence why my partner and I invested in our own torches before the trip. If you aren t confident with your diving skills without a compus or detailed dive briefs this company is not recommended. At one point we were told to get in the water before a dive brief had been provided. The fist days dive sights were below average especially considering its a 6 hour boat ride out to the reef, you would expect higher quality. We were served off milk on numerous occasions and the food was below average for what we payed, although the company uses the skipper as a chef (which is not very professional) so cant expect too much of quality there. They did provide plenty of the food though regardless of quality. The dive trip in our opinion should have been cancelled due to poor weather. We were emailed the day before the trip asking if we could reschedule because of weather warnings and due too many people saying no they went ahead with the dive trip regardless of the weather warnings not changing/improving as my partner and I kept an eye on the warnings. It was too dangerous to move the boat on one of the nights and there was large waves and strong surface current on every single dive. People were awake vomiting every night, although a positive is the four man crew did help out those who were sick. Although having to share buckets to be sick in was also another negative as I am sure degradable bags could be provided. I did a similar liveaboard in Cairns for less money and there was plenty more staff (with a professional uniform) who were friendly and very helpful. They provided more equipment e.g compus for less money, had a chef on board to ensure you got your moneys worth and there was undisturbed sleep every night. My partner and I overall would have prefered the trip to be cancelled and to receive the full refund as the weather made it highly unenjoyable. I will say although the crew did not seem professional they were mostly friendly. Highly recommend people go with a different company.
