Spoilsport (Mike Ball Dive Expeditions)

Spoilsport is part of the Mike Ball Dive Expeditions fleet of vessels. She can carry up to 29 passengers in 15 cabins. The vessel is a twin-hulled catamaran, which offers stability and minimizes problems with sea-sickness. Four levels of cabin are offered. Budget cabins have twin bunks and share a separate shower and toilet with other budget cabins. One budget cabin, with its own bathroom, is on the lower deck and is reached by ladder. Club cabins have twin bunk beds and share a bathroom and toilet with one other Club Cabin. Standard cabins have two single beds and a private bathroom. Premium cabins have either a double bed or a double bed and a single bed, plus a private bathroom. All cabins have air-conditioning. A large dining room is where meals are served. There is plenty of space for relaxing either in the lounge or on the sundeck.

Spoilsport offers a full range of PADI courses, including Nitrox training. Nitrox is available, as are digital camera rental and video/digital photo services. All Mike Ball Dive Expedition boats feature their unique ‘Safe Solo’ Programme offering suitably qualified and experienced divers the opportunity to dive as individuals rather than as buddy pairs. Diving is undertaken from the back deck of the boat and 2 RIBs constantly patrol the dive sites to pick up any divers who surface away from the boat. Usually the boat pulls up at 3 different dives sites each day. At sites such as Challenger Bay, some photographers or avid fish-spotters can take dives of up to 2 hours dive to find those remarkable fish behaviour experiences. Most divers plan a dive with their buddy and enjoy independent diving, however divers who require supervision can join the dive staff on one of the scheduled morning or afternoon guided dives.
