Outstanding dive trip that I highly recommend
We enjoyed very much the week we spent on board the Spoilsport. We particularly praise all members of the crew in all their roles who were very efficient and very friendly and with whom we interacted constantly. They made the trip not only fantastic from the diving perspective but also a very pleasant holiday on board.

Amazing Dive Trip
Nice boat, good food, open deck brilliant as so many dive companies/ares insist in guided dives which really places restrictions on length of dive so good to have freedom to dive to your ability
- Recommended for
- The dive sites. Not having to have guided divers and restrictions on length of dive time. The food.

Amazing
The dives were amazing and could not have had a better crew. They were informative and friendly as well as skilled in all aspects of diving. The shark dive was phenomenal, the flashlight fish completely remarkable and the wall dives beautiful. The reef was in great shape from our perspective, the colors, the variety and the condition all amounted to an absolutely memorable trip. Be happy to recommend Mike Ball to all who are curious. Although the seas were rough enough to disrupt your sleeping, that is living in the open seas. Learn to snuggle and hold each other together! Figured that out the last few hours of the last night.

Superb Liveaboard and Diving
Had a fab time on the 7 Day Coral Sea Explorer. Highlights was definitely the diving on the outer reef systems, including Holmes, Bouganville and Osprey Reef systems. The staff were great and the marine biologist talks were amazing.

Fantastic!
Shark dive was amazing. Crew was wonderful, helpful and a lot of fun. June can cook up a storm even for someone that has dietary needs. I wish I was on a longer trip. I will be going back. A testament to the fact that over half of the divers had dove Mike Ball numerous times. They run a tight ship but very comfortable. Thank you all for making my first - but not last- Great Barrier reef trip absolutely amazing!!!
