Lift your soul
What a treat, there is a thing ‘crying under water out of pure joy’! TV cannot portray the reality, the feelings, the emotion. SCUBA and snorkel in the worlds best natural aquarium, so much to see, an overwhelming treat for the sense. The Skipper and crew are more than accomodating, beautiful energy, wonderful guides. Stop dreaming it and do it. Help local small businesses get back on their feet post the covid craziness. I wish Coral Sea Dreaming every success. So much gratitude Tania ?♀️

Reeftastic! Awesome experience.
We spent an amazing night on board Coral Sea Dreaming. Jann, Remy and Vanessa were a fabulous team. The food was lovely and healthy, there was water and sunscreen a plenty. All dive and snorkel kit was provided. The beds were comfy. The reef moorings we went to were absolutely stunning - and best of all, deserted! We saw so many species of fish, coral, rays, turtles, reef sharks, a dolphin... pretty much everything you could wish to see. Remy helped curb my fear of deep water and sharks. Vanessa jumped back in with me for a guided snorkel when I wanted one last swim before we left. We felt thoroughly looked after and came away with the best memories! 5 stars!
