Dive Review: Live aboard Diving on the Undersea Explorer
Got back from a week living onboard the Undersea Explorer. http://www.undersea.com.au/ They visit Australia's best dive sites on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Osprey Reef - in the Coral Sea. This isn't a day trip to the reef, but a six-day expedition into wilderness. The facilities are top-rate and the food was amazing (thanks Erwann). There were 20-odd explorers and six-or seven crew members. Some of the group were a team doing Reef-Watch work both in the GBR and Osprey reef. Undersea Explorer runs a research programme as well as explorer trips for us divers. We were so far out into the Coral Sea that I'm sure we had 4 days without sighting another ship! That's some wilderness trip. We got to see sharks close up.
You can see photos from some of their recent trips over at http://www.undersea.com.au/index_photographs.htm
If you're over this side of the world and dive - this is a must-do trip.
