    Customer Review

    “Doesn’t get much better……The diving was organised to a very professional standard. Nitrox was available (though an extra charge) and 15 litre tanks also available (again extra). Every dive was preceeded by a detailed briefing and a guide was available, though you could dive with a buddy if preferred. 4 or 5 dives a day were offered. Luckily we were blessed with great weather and easy dives. Probably the best dive was a shark feed – 40/50 reef sharks + giant cod all in a feeding frenzy. The food on board was excellent – all tastes and diets catered for. The cabins were very comfy – good bunks, adequate storage and functional bathroom. On the last night we had a party – some guests were professional musicians so we had a good show….& all the crew got everyone up dancing. I was a liveaboard virgin but now a total convert.” Recommended for: Organisation of diving, the crew, comfort of boat.

    Customer Review

    “Fantastic!!! The crew members were absolutely THE BEST!! Everyone was so helpful, considerate and patient. The assistance they gave us with entering and exiting the water was above and beyond. My travel mate/dive buddy and I were a bit apprehensive diving the Great Barrier Reef. The instructors/crew/staff took great care of us, being with us, guiding us, making sure we were comfortable in every way, never left our side on the dives, and, in general, were the nicest and most considerate, helpful, congenial, people ever!! The crew members were so efficient in everything they did. The total experience we had on the Spoilsport was FANTASTIC!!! Ollie, Oliver, Trent, Laurence, Little Sam, Big Sam, Jemma, Carl and of course, Skipper Pete and First Mate-Ricardo were ALL THE BEST!! (And anyone else I might’ve left out by mistake)There experience and professionalism were incredible. Thank you to all for a most wonderful experience on our first LiveAboard, and hopefully not the last with you all!! We highly recommend Mike Ball Dive Expeditions, this crew and the Spoilsport to everyone!!! Weezie & Rae D. Texas-USA.” Recommended for: 1. Helpfulness of the Staff and Crew 2. Ease and comfort of the Spoilsport. 3. Dive deck very organized.
