See the Globe-Schedule
At See the Globe, we offer different types of trips depending on our customers needs and the logistical situation of each location or country. Below are explanations of the types of trips we offer.
Group (Blank) Scuba Trip: This is the most structured of the travel types. Michelle and Mark will meet the group at pre-determined location (airport, dock, etc.) and will lead the group through the travel portion of the trip and make sure we are on schedule and that the group makes all of the events that are planned. This type normally has a specific group size to fill the trip.
Open Itinerary: These trips are normally because a customer or group has asked us to coordinate a trip to a specific location. These trips are open to any of the divers in our network that meet the minimum requirements. Michelle and Mark will meet the group at the dive/adventure location. We normally do not have a minimum or maximum number of people to make the trip. These are far less structured than the Group Lead trips.

“See the Globe goes Down Under” is an 18 day, two trips in one, with both land and sea experiences on the continent of Australia. The trip starts in Sydney. First full day in Sydney consists of a half day city tour including The Rocks, Bondi Beach and Sydney Harbor. After a few days in Sydney, the group takes a midday flight to Cairns, Northern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. We will have 4 days in Cairns staying at the Kewarra Beach Resort, then on Thursday night the group boards Mike Ball’s Spoilsport, our liveaboard home for the next 7 nights. The sea portion of the trip consists of a 450 mile voyage for a 7 day 26 dive tour of the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. The 30m M/V Spoilsport Australia was custom built for Mike Ball Dive Expeditions. The twin hull design of the spoilsport increases stability and reduces motion onboard. Dive amenities include a spacious dive deck with entry and exit platforms, large camera table, rinse tanks and Nitrox. After 7 days onboard we disembark on Thursday morning and transfer to a Cairns area hotel for a relaxing day to pick up some final souvenirs. The next morning we board flights home and arrive back in North America the same day we leave Australia.
The trip can be taken as a combination or as land only or as sea only. You decide which part of this adventure you want to be a part of. Minimum Scuba certification is Advanced Open Water. We have 9 cabins to accommodate 18 divers.
