An extremely professional and safety conscious liveaboard
I loved how all the staff worked together as a team. They were constantly on the go making sure all our needs were catered for. Constantly double checking everyone is accounted for and catered for with the dives (guided or self-guided).

An amazing dive experience with an amazing crew that I will remember for the rest of my life.
The dive experience was something that I will never forget, but the highlight was definitely the night dive at Gotham City. I've never experienced that level of fear and awe with the amount of reef predators that I saw upon descending. I always felt safe with the employees providing a comprehensive dive briefing, but also amazed at where they took us. We even got a weather break and were able to get to the outer reef system to Osprey Reef, which was amazing!

Exceptional live aboard trip
The relatively small number of divers meant that everyone got to know everyone else. Dive guides we available when needed, but not all dives were lead by a dive guide. I loved this: you and your buddy get to do your own thing at your own pace. Visibility was exceptional 30-50m on all dives, the water temp 29° and the sea life prolific.
- Recommended for
- 1) The enthusiasm and professionalism of the staff. 2) The diving - they don't call it the GREAT barrier Reef for nothing. 3) The food; great variety and delicious throughout

I was surprised that not every dive was guided, but it was nice to dive in my own speed and plan.

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!
