Rebreather Service
In 2007 Mike Ball Dive Expeditions initiated another Queensland first by developing the capability to offer rebreather divers a comprehensive service on board. Several key staff members are trained in rebreather use and in deep technical diving. As a result, we are able to offer the rebreather diver unparalleled opportunities in the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea and in the Torres Straits. The introduction of rebreathers aboard Spoilsport led directly to the discovery of the fabulous Deep Sea Arcade, a benchmark dive site in the 70 metre range at Osprey Reef.
