At 120 feet, the Spirit of Freedom is one of Australia 's largest live-aboard dive vessel. She features three decks of
spacious comfort including sun deck, lounge and bar, dining saloon, and huge dive deck. Equipped with electronic stabilisers,
silent generators, and fully air-conditioned throughout, the Spirit offers smooth and comfortable cruising.
Be prepared for an amazing range of diving experiences on Spirit of Freedom's 7 day/ 7 night Cod Hole, Ribbon Reefs and
Coral Sea adventure.
The first part of your dive expedition will be on the 'Ribbon Reefs' - a string of 10 coral reefs stretching over 100
miles to the north of Cairns . Awaiting you are picturesque coral gardens and isolated 'bommies' crowned in delicate
corals, anemones, and colourful reef fish. The Cod Hole lies at the top of the Ribbon Reefs, and is home to a family
of resident Potato Cod (Groper). These diver friendly fish will amaze you with their sheer size and seeming eagerness
to pose for camera.
You will also venture out 120 miles offshore to Osprey Reef in the oceanic wilderness of Australia's Coral Sea. Here 3,000 ft
walls emerge from the ocean depths and the water is so astoundingly clear that divers appear suspended in air. You will
see massive red and yellow soft corals, reef sharks, whaler sharks, schooling hammerheads, mantas, plus schools of barracuda,
big eye trevally, and mackeral.
While the diving may be out of this world, the facilities and service on board Spirit will complete
your ultimate liveaboard experience.
Spacious double or twin share cabins, all with private en-suite, make a comfortable retreat at the end of
your day's scuba diving. Delicious chef prepared meals can be enjoyed throughout the day and complimentary
Australian wines are offered with dinner. The sun deck is always a popular spot in bewteen dives, and a great
location to watch the sunset on our BBQ nights. There is a comprehensive marine library,DVD movies, wide screen,
and a fully stocked bar for relaxation after diving. Nitrox fills, camera hire, and CD downloading are also
available on board.
