A burst of colour
The boat was moored always near the dive site with a line set to it. we always had the option to go alone or with a guide. The timing of the meals and dives was well set. The crew was always availlable and alert and paying attention to the guest needs. Was my 1st liveaboard and loved it!

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!

Overwhelmingly beautiful, fun and relaxing - a must do experience.
A goal reached and just what I needed. Two weeks after I got my Advanced diving certificate I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. I made getting back under the water my goal that I focused on. I have three close family members currently having treatment for cancer, two are terminal and living day to day. This last year has been very overwhelming for me, finally I got down under the water and two good dives and then out of the blue, the next two dives I had panic attacks and struggled with confidence to dive. The crew on board were fantastic - especially Ollie. I can not thank him enough for helping to build my confidence back up to the stage of having some wonderful dive experiences that were exactly what I had been dreaming of. He was very patient, calm, kind and reassuring, he held my hand for two dives and then on the final dive I was confident enough for him to just stay beside me - A HUGE THANK YOU. I wish I had had the confidence the whole way through, as the other divers all raved about the other dive sites that I missed.
