Is a dive liveaboard for you?

Liveaboards are a great way to dive. Some of the best diving in the world is only available from liveaboards, while the ability to enjoy three or more dives a day and share in the company of like-minded individuals appeals to many divers.

Whether a diving liveaboard is right for you depends on what you are looking for from your holiday. If you are eager to dive as much as possible, enjoy the close proximity and company of other divers and are keen to explore some of the very best diving a region has to offer, then a liveaboard boat is a great choice.

If you like to make a couple of scuba dives a day, enjoy a sunset stroll on the beach or are looking for peace, tranquility and your own space, then a resort-based diving holiday may be more suitable.

Am I experienced enough for a liveaboard?

Many liveaboards require divers to have 30 or even 60 dives plus an advanced open water certification in order to participate. This is because the diving is often more challenging in nature, visiting more remote regions, diving sites prone to strong currents or requiring depths greater than 18 metres.

That is not exclusively the case however.

Those looking to experience diving liveaboards for the first time should consider a liveaboard to Thailand’s Similan and Surin Islands or the beautiful Bahamas Islands. While the Maldives has more challenging diving, The Emperor Atoll is able to cater to less experienced scuba divers.

Our Seychelles cruises are also aimed at less experienced divers, while the Great Barrier Reef in Australia makes a great introduction to the world of liveaboard diving.

Those looking to combine easy and enjoyable liveaboard diving with fantastic topside wildlife may also consider a holiday to Madagascar, an island that has stood in splendid isolation for more than 160 million years.
