Amazing trip to Cod Hole, Osprey Reef and Ribbon Reefs. The Mike Ball team is top notch. The boat is great. The food was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Fantastic 7-day expedition Mike Ball’s operation is top notch! They take safety to the top level - probably the safest liveaboard I’ve ever been on. The diving is exceptional: the reefs have healthy corals and lively and diverse fish population. The crew is great! They are attentive and friendly. The food is delicious.
To address previous comments: the dive deck does get busy, but nothing that can’t be handled with a bit of patience and coordination with your deck neighbours.
We did a stop at an island (not Lizard) to visit, and I have to say that most of us on board were happy for the short break! (well, our ears were relieved!)
We are rescue qualified divers, meaning we are qualified to dive and have dived deep, but in this trip, we rarely went below 60’ (20 m), and spent most of our time around 40’ to 20’ deep, which is where you find the best diving. The guides were available, and generally had 3-4 people with them. BUT when we dove Steve’s Bommie, they used little markers to identify stonefish.

Exceeded expectations all round Recently joined the Spoilsport live aboard, solo traveller, on a 3 night trip to Cod Hole and other dive sites on the GBR.
Being very new to scuba diving I thought I may be a burden to staff and others on trip but absolutely none of the staff made me feel this way. They were all extremely helpful in my adventures helping wherever they could and getting the best out of my dives.
Special thanks to Chef June for also looking after my fussy eating habits with a very limited menu option provided to her before trip.
The entire Spoilsport crew was great throughout the whole trip and I cannot praise enough for their work.

Incredible experience yet again We went as a group of friends, to enjoy the GBR. My second time on Spoilsport, and the latest experience was as good, if not better than the first. Jelle, Marita and crew were outstanding, they went out of their way to make our trip extremely memorable. Diving was easy and spectacular. Very highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredible experience The Spoilsport really does what it says on the tin we were so spoiled! The food was amazing and cabins were extremely comfortable. They all took such great care of us, I’m not sure I’ll ever dive with a different company again. Nothing like getting out of your wetsuit and straight into a hot shower! The dive sites were also fantastic, and we felt extremely safe everywhere we went - it’s clear they make safety their #1 priority, making this trip a great one for new divers and experienced divers alike. It was also very educational! The entire crew was 11/10.

Outstanding dive trip that I highly recommend We enjoyed very much the week we spent on board the Spoilsport. We praise
particularly 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 a very pleasant holiday on
board

Just finished an 8D/7N liveaboard to the Coral Sea and Ribbon Reefs. This was my first liveaboard and I have no idea how I'll top it. From beautiful dive sites with incredible coral coverage and abundant fish and wildlife, to fantastic meals every day, to the perfect setup of the boat for diving, absolutely every detail was paid attention to. Huge shoutout to the whole crew for such a great week of diving and making friends. Can't wait to go back out with them again!
