I have been on 4 live aboards and each one was a little different
In every instance, in my experience, everyone went in with a buddy at the same time. The Aggressor for example had a DM you could follow if you wished or you and your buddy could go off on your own.
The Nekton it was just buddy Diving as was the Sea Searcher, and Mike Ball
I believe that is the plan
Yes I will be taking photos as are a few others I believe.
Some do, some don't, check with the boat regarding their photo setup space.
I do have never been on this boat so I don't know, perhaps someone else does. However I believe personal storage space is minimal, but someone who has been on he boat could give you a firm answer.
There is a sample itinerary on the site but locals change based on conditions, at least that is my understanding. Again someone who has been on this trip before could respond better.
FLTEKDIVER:A few questions, :
Being this is my first live-aboard, how does the buddy system work, does everyone have a buddy, or is it find who wants to dive, and dive with them, etc.

Also are we doing any night dives, so I should bring my canister light ?
I believe that is the plan
Anyone here taking UW photo's ? I just upgraded my whole UW camera set-up to a Oly C-8080 8mp camera, with wide angle lens, and Ikelite Ds-125 strobe , so this will
be my first time shooting with it, I plan on taking a lot of photo's.
Yes I will be taking photos as are a few others I believe.
Also, do people bring their laptops, to download any movies and photo's onto, so i can edit them at night and see whats ettings I should be shooting with?
Some do, some don't, check with the boat regarding their photo setup space.
Speaking of laptops, is there room for your own private gear, i know there are bunks, thats why I'm asking.
