Live-aboards
Why Live-aboards?
If you like being pampered, having your every whim attended to, being chauffeured to the doorstep of the best diving on the planet and eating like a king for a week, then a live-aboard excursion might be the best way to fulfill your dive travel dreams. Because that’s pretty much it: You dive, dream of diving, snack between diving, look at photos of your last dive, get prepped for your next dive, lounge in the sun, read a book, maybe sea kayak or wander a beach, and then celebrate each day with a sumptuous gourmet meal.
10 Live-Aboard Myths
1. You have to be an experienced, well-traveled diver.
False. You’ll find every level of diver on many live-aboards. In fact, you can even get your Open Water certification on a live-aboard, and there have even been family-centric and teen-only live-aboard trips. That said, some specialty live-aboard destinations are suitable only for experienced divers. Check before you book.
2. You must dive five times a day.
False. Dive once a day, none or go for the record...
