Mike Ball Dive Expeditions is the leading liveaboard dive company in Australia and Papua New Guinea and is synonymous with world class dive sites and exceptional customer service
The company is now recognized as one of Australia’s most successful with 3 twin hull liveaboards. Catamaran designs have been chosen for all of the vessels to provide unsurpassed comfort and stability.
Mike Ball Dive Expeditions introduced a formal Solo Diving Program on the vessels, which allow suitably experienced and equipped divers to dive on their own. This has proved extremely popular with underwater photographers and diving professionals who often have a need to dive without a buddy.
‘Spoilsport’ is based in Cairns, Australia and is suitable for the adventurous diver seeking big fish, deep walls and shark action. You can explore the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, the remote oceanic reefs in the Coral Sea plus the legendary Cod Hole.
Catamaran vessels provide more space and comfort with less rock and roll. Special services include one crewmember for every 3 guests, exceptional meals, underwater photo & video service, unlimited diving, nitrox and solo diving.
In 2004, at Grand Cayman Islands, Mike Ball joined diving greats like Jacques Yves Cousteau and Has Hass as an inductee into the Scuba Diving Hall of Fame. Mike was the first Australian dive operator and the world’s first live-aboard operator to receive this recognition. He was honoured for his contribution to the growth and development of scuba diving and his pioneering efforts in the liveaboard industry.
