Passenger from the USA and UK enjoyed a fantastic six day liveaboard expedition in perfect weather conditions, with great diving, great company and great food.

Two days were spent on the Great Barrier Reef, two days in 50+ meter visibility on the Coral Sea and two days on the ever popular Yongala wreck capped off a great expedition.

The Yongala wreck was a great start to our expedition, with a large shovelnosed shark, giant bullrays and tonnes of turtles in amongst what would arguably be Australia's best collection of fish. The Great Barrier Reef was a great follow-up to the wreck with phenomenal hard coral formations at Bowl Reef and Dip Reef as well as giant clams, nudibranchs and the amazing flame file shell.

Our first day in the Coral Sea was one of variety, walls, caves, lagoons and pinnacles, all in one day and with superb clear blue water. And to top it off a visit to Flinders Cay to visit the boobies, a rare event was to see the crew surfing at the western end of the island.

Scuba Zoo, again, was awesome, 30+ reef sharks and a couple of big silvertips, a high heart-rate was had by all. It was an expedition to remember by all.
