1st liveaboard

I'm thinking of booking a trip with them in November, and have some questions. Hopefully you can answer some off them for me.

I'm looking at their list of things to bring. First on the list is MASK, FINS AND SNORKEL * with the * signifying "required for divers". Do they make you dive with a snorkel?

Second on the list is Snorkel vest. Is there snorkeling in between dives?


Their website also mentions going onshore to explore the uninhabited beaches. Is there time to do this without missing dives?

No one made me wear / take a snorkel on dives, but there were a couple of opportunities to snorkel, so it came in handy ... As for a "snorkel vest", don't own one, didn't bring one, didn't need it

I think if you are taking any classes while on the trip, you would have to have a snorkel since I think they are PADI courses ....

We pulled in near shore twice during SI's and had a chance to "explore uninhabited beaches" .. I choose to snorkel and review video's on my camera instead

How did the trip go? I'm booked on the June 6th sailing and counting the days. Also my 1st liveaboard so would be happy to hear how it went.
