"Spirit of Freedom" Liveaboard - Great Barrier Reef???

Can anyone tell me anything (good or bad) about the SOF Liveaboard Boat on the
GBR. I am thinking of going there with my Girlfriend in October!!! Any
recommendations for the GBR. All Advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Steven

I recommend Prodive out of Cairns for their three day dives. The atmosphere
was excellent, the safety excellent and the food fantastic. I admit its
been a few years since I used them, but I'd use them again.

Cheers

Mark

Hello,

My girlfriend and I went on a three day liveaboard with Prodive in
Townsville, and had a great trip. The weather was not to good, and sadly we
missed Yongala because of the wind, but the diving that we did was great,
and the crew (Paul, Danielle, Hamish, Fish and Kylie) could not been better.
Very friendly but at the same time very professional. We're going back up
the coast in december, and will definetly go on the same trip.

Fredrik I think I'll be on the Yongala in Dec too. Maybe we bump into each
other. Is the Prodive an overnight dive for Yongala?

Cheers

Hi Mark,

When I was there, the Yongala dive was supposed to be one of the ten dives
on the three day liveaboard. However, Prodive in Townsville have day trips
to the Yongala as well, think they leave Townsvill at six or seven in the
morning. We booked one of the daytrips as well, but unfortuneatly, the
weather did not improve. But norwegians don't give up easy, we'll be back!!!
;O)

See you on the divedeck, Mark! ;O)

Fredrik

Go with Mike Ball, simply the best. Avoid at all costs, Quicksilver
out of Port Douglas.
