    Disappointing. Trip out to the Reef was awful. Conditions at the Reef were unsuitable for snorkeling due to the wind. (Ok for Divers ss they are below the surface). Stopped at 1 reef, not 2, due to the weather (not that it affected me as I didn't enter the water). Trip back to Cairns was awful. Should have been told about conditions beforehand, with option to cancel. Waste of money...

    What an amazing crew! Nia and Lucas were so accommodating, making my scuba diving experience a memory of a lifetime I put Nia through the ringer and she still said I was her favorite, made me feel really good inside. Lucas got me going again after a little rough patch - thank you! My diving in Adelaide with the Leafy Sea Dragons was a success because you got me back on the proverbial seahorse. I'm ready to come back tomorrow! Or as soon as I can save up the money again ;) Micki had housekeeping running like a fine-tuned machine. Food was different every meal, keeping us looking forward to digging in. Thank you to the cooks! The live-aboard boat was spacious and beds were comfortable. My only complaint would be that the bathroom often smelled a bit like sewage was coming up from the floor drain. But you're on a dive boat, not a luxury yacht. It would have also been nice if we had a dive photographer on the boat who could have taken pictures while I was diving. I hate trying to take video and pictures when all I want to do is experience the moment. But this is a nice to have. Lesson learned for me though - don't try to put your fins on while sitting on a rope attached to a rocking boat. Just get in the water and ask for help to get them on. I twisted my knee half way through the trip and that put me into snorkel mode only. But honestly, the snorkeling was great! In some ways better than diving because the sun made all the corals, fish and sea anemones look so vibrant.
