Being part of a true expedition is a rare and special experience. All the time maintaining the high standards we enjoy with Mike Ball so much. Looking forward to next year!

Glenn Abbott

Great staff, boat, diving and staff are amazing. This is my 3rd trip and already booked the 4th. Love the boat and team!

Victor Martin

You can't control what creatures you'll encounter and what the weather will do; but you can provide a better or worse service. In that respect, I give everyone at the Mike Ball Dive Expeditions a 10/10.

Robyn Holley

Fantastic crew and clear briefings. Loved the science. Ludicrous sing-a-longs!
