Scuba divers often book liveaboards because they’re a great way to get lots of diving in and visit some of the best sites in the world that can only be accessed via liveaboard trips. Liveaboards are great to socialise with like-minded divers, view the best dive sites and enjoy a diving holiday.
Here are reasons to book a liveaboard diving trip:
Dive Around the Entire Region
Liveaboards make dive logistics easy, for instance, diving in the Bahamas can be difficult to organise if you’re trying to dive multiple times per day. But that’s why it makes sense to book a liveaboard and dive each day, this will allow you the opportunity to check out several sites including Exuma Cays & Tiger Beach.
You can visit up to 11 different dive sites in one region. Doing this through a liveaboard saves you a fortune and enriches the experience of liveaboard diving.
Access the Best Dive Sites
There are exclusive dive sites that are remote and can’t be accessed on a day trip. Liveaboard diving can gain exclusive access to sites such as Galapagos Liveaboards.
Many of the dive sites that can only be accessed by liveaboards are often some of the most sought-after due to their protections and thriving marine life. Your computer will be adding to the logged dives, with you adding more dives to your artillery.
Plenty of Diving
You can’t get more diving than a liveaboard – you get to literally sleep, dive and repeat. If you’re a dive fanatic then there’s no better way to spend your holiday than liveaboard diving.
I enjoyed over 9 dives in a week during a Thailand Liveaboard, diving and spotting beautiful species and eating fresh fruit and Thai cuisine on-board.
Professionals to Aid You
Every liveaboard boat comes with not only handy dive guides and catering team but they’re a team of professional divers with years of experience. These divers have visited the exact same dive sites time and time again, they are there to help you and for your own safety.
It’s always great to have experts with you and although you may have lots of dive experience yourself, it’s still great to have scuba diving instructors that are used to diving in these exact spots.
Dive instructors are a huge part of a liveaboard holiday, that’s why I believe you should make sure you’re well-researched on an operator, dive site and company.
Meet Other Divers
One of the most amazing things about liveaboard diving is that you meet other scuba divers, which means you will enjoy meeting a number of like-minded people. There’s something riveting about most liveaboards and much of that comes down to the company, finding fellow divers and learning the dive site with them.
You will be joining a new dive buddy and sharing your passion with other fellow divers. You will be with a dive buddy and even the most introverted tend to bond well with other like-minded scuba divers.
New Experiences
Embrace the underwater adventure as you accumulate dive hours in some of the most prestigious sites, you won’t believe some of the unforgettable and unrivalled experiences you get when booking onto a week-long liveaboard holiday.
These liveaboard diving trips are quite something and my first liveaboard experience is still engrained into my memory as I got to visit places I would have otherwise missed. I highly recommend trying a dive safari, and I feel it’s best to pick carefully prior to committing.
Luxurious Cabins & Communal Areas
As much as the main aspect of a liveaboard is about diving, it’s important to enjoy comfort in your “down-time” and that’s what these liveaboard dive boats provide. There are lots of different types of liveaboard boat trips and cabins.
