Mike Ball 4 Night coral sea liveaboard
On this fantastic four-day dive adventure trip you will travel 120km beyond the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy the Coral Sea’s average visibility of 40m, glide along plummeting walls and witness exciting shark action. Dive the famous Osprey Reef located on the very edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf in the Coral Sea and also take in The Great Barrier Reef's chain of Ribbon Reefs with pristine coral gardens; excellent for macro and fish photography.
Included is a spectacular return low-level flight from Lizard Island to Cairns. The custom built dive liveaboard, Spoilsport, is a 30-metre catamaran and is fully air-conditioned with guest cabins serviced daily. Average passenger numbers are 20 (max 29).
This trip is suitable for novice to advanced divers, as well as snorkellers.
Budget, standard, premium and club cabins available.
