Hey Folks,
I am trying to research and gather some unbiased information about the Mike Ball Dive Operation to GBR/Coral Sea.
I have my DM and was toying with the idea of doing the Mike Ball DM/ Dive Op internship that they run but wanted some more information. The information on the Mike Ball site itself is slim - minimal at best.
Does anyone know anybody that has done this? Has anyone themselves done it? Can anyone give me any other information or point me in a direction?
I know it wold be work - not a vacation. Which I am fine with, I am just looking at it from an experience stand point, and if some diving is tossed in then that's just a plus. According to their site the DM/Dive Op interns - run and assist with the dive deck, as well as, dive with the guests. Costs are minimal (Outside of getting there) and buying a few clothing items that they require (nothing crazy).
I guess Im just wondering about hidden costs? personal experiences with the operation....etc etc.
Any help would be great ? Also best time of year to be out on GBR (in the event I manage to do this)???
