We were dropped off at Lizard Island at the end of a 3.5 day live-aboard trip with Mike Ball Dive Expeditions. Lizard Island is an amazing island. There is only one hotel/resort on the island, and the resort only has 40 rooms. Very exclusive feeling and very relaxing. Pricey, but worth it. The resort has dinghys that guests can take to secluded beaches and close outlying islands. Amazing to pull up on a beach/island and be the only onese there. A few good hikes are available too. The diving is fairly average (for the GBR) and the day dive that I did had about 50/50 split between snorklers & divers. That said, there were mostly experienced divers on the dive with us. Crew was very attentive. Lizard is also very close to where they do the Cod Hole dive, so there are opportunities for giant potato cod encounters. I had also been asking about a night dive - and even though I was the ONLY one who requested one, the resort took me out. I had a private guide all to myself. That blew me away that they would take care of me like that. When I commented to the manager about the service, his response was "Well that's what we do here on Lizard Island." |
