Special Expeditions

Unique Itineraries Beyond the Central Great Barrier Reef

Special Expeditions aboard Spirit of Freedom

Spirit of Freedom runs regular special dive expeditions to remote and largely unexplored dive sites beyond the Great Barrier Reef, into the Coral Sea and beyond. The reefs we visit on these special expeditions are seldom visited by any boats, and many of the hundreds of reefs in the region are yet to be explored. Join us for a rare opportunity to explore new sites with our amazing crew!
