"And I the coral was still just as stunningly beautiful as on any clear day. Highlights include heaps of green sea turtles and black-tip reef sharks, giant Tridacna clams and lots of Dr. Seuss-ian Sea Whip corals. On the last dive at Michaelmas, we nearly met face-to-barb with a bull ray, about 2m in diameter" Heather - April 2011 http://thehawkinoz.blogspot.com/2011/04/tourist-in-cairns-rainforest-to-reef.html
"On Tuesday morning (15th Feb) we went on a sailing boat cruise for 2 days in the Great Barrier Reef with the RumRunner, a boat from Cairns. Had an awesome time onboard, did a free intro dive and everything went all good and I did 2 more dives."......... "Since I loved the diving I took off with Rum Runner for the second time, from Saturday to Sunday, 19-20th Feb, while the girls stayed in Cairns and did somethings on thier own."

For the rest the food onboard was great, as were the crew members, and it was also kind of funny to sleep on a little boat in the middle of the ocean for the first time in my life. So if you happen to be near Cairns sometime in the future, just book the Rumrunner and go diving the Reef, you won’t regret it!

Captain Sparrow was not exaggerating. Our final dive was wondrous. A plateau of coral extended for kilometres, alive with thousands of fish, multitudes of coral species, and the promise of turtles.Katrina - Dec 2010 http://katrinagoesglobal.blogspot.com/2010/12/in-nemos-world.html
"The live aboard was a great experience, the boat was awesome and the crew were lovely, really genuinely great guys, we had the best couple of days. Also to get to dive the most famous reef in the world was an awesome experience too, we loved it."

"Snorkelling around the tall towers of coral is so spectacular, it's difficult to describe, you need to be there! The crew on the Rum Runner were really good too, so we had the best time". Karla, Sept 2010 http://karla-2010theyearofadventure.blogspot.com/2010/09/rum-runner-barrier-reef.html
