The best liveaboard experience I've ever had.
The crew was very friendly und highly professional. The daily schedule on board, including the preperation and support during the dives, was perfectly organized. High safety standards, excellent food, and fantastic dive sites made this liveaboard an unforgettable experience.

Excellent diving trip with mix of inner and outer barrier reef dive spots!
Very well-run and efficient crew! Exceptional dive sites, accommodating crew, and good food. Quarters were comfortable. They had the small extra features that make the trip better - water showers off the stern, and compressed air nozzles to dry camera gear after washing.
- Recommended for
- Quantity and ease of diving. Knowledgeable dive guides. No additional passenger pick-ups or drop offs - trip fully dedicated to diving.

Fantastic Scuba Trip
Like I already wrote on the first survey on the last day, it was amazing at every level. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail that went into this organized scuba trip. Bravo to the staff and the chef especially….the food was awesome My diving guides were excellent, patient, SUPER nice. Abby, Rodrigo, etc…. It was costly, yes (I had a solo cabin) but well worth the experience. Where to next ? Belize ? Red Sea in Egypt ? Indonesia ?

Open deck diving with an awesome crew that makes the diving.
Diving in the middle of nowhere with no crowds just us. Excellent hard coral everywhere, beautiful color and natural lighting. Liveaboard with a crew for detail and open deck diving. Epic distance covered.

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.

Interesting journey as a whole
Interesting dives but without having seen the Minkle whale and with previous liveaboards of great quality make it difficult to classify this trip as incredible. A curiosity... There are several dives that allow tourists to do unguided dives, that is, on their own!

Great Vessel, Crew, and Dive Sites
Mike Ball Diving Expeditions puts great focus on keeping everybody safe and happy. The briefings before every dive were excellent and eased navigation during unguided dives a lot. The Crew is both highly qualified (in their particular field of expertise) and entertaining. The food was exceptionally good, the cabins and the vessels in general are clean and spacious, and the dive sites were just amazing. Certainly recommended!
