An asolutely perfect trip z
It was a great trip for us!The crew is just not only good, they were fantastic. Familiar, friendly and uncomplicated.The lowest cabin category is so-so, but all the higher categories are wonderful.The diving is a little different than on other boats. You often dive without a guide. No problem for experienced divers. Great explanation of the dive sites. SAFETY IS THE TOP PRIORITY FOR THE OPERATOR! :-)

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.

Exceeded expectations
Crew on Spoilsport went over and above expectations on my trip. As an inexperienced diver I thought I would be cast aside over more experienced guests but the crew really looked after everyone providing the best experiences for everyone’s level. Also my fussy eating habits were accommodated well with some pre advice on meals I do eat, and Chef June provided basic meals as requested.

Perfect diving holiday
The crew was professional, helpful and always prepared. They double and triple checked everything while still being flexible and adjusted to my needs. I always felt secure to dive and I was perfectly taken care of. Diving spots are selected to showcase the Great Barrier Reef and its marine life. I saw tremendous amount of aquatic life all within safe measures. I can only recommend this trip.

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

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.
