When looking for a great Liveaboard, the best way to book is through Bluewater dive travel!

Uncrowded Dive Sites - Because of the limited number of guests on a liveaboard and the remoteness of many liveaboard destinations, you can expect to be the only group at any dive site.
On the other hand, sailboats tend to be beautiful, locally built yachts. Often, they include both sails and motors as a means of traveling. If you prefer your boat to be stylish and traditional, choose a sailboat.
It never ceases to amaze me that most people hang up their wetsuit after a dive the right side out. Why? I always turn mine inside out to dry - or at least remove the wetness. This works in all but the most humid conditions (where nothing dries) I never suffer from having to put on a cold damp suite first thing in the morning.
- Two wetsuits and two swimsuits - You’ll be diving so often that one wetsuit and swimsuit won’t dry fast enough. Bring two so that you can dive in one while the other dries.
sarong - Most boats won’t allow wetsuits in the living and dining area, pack a sarong or cover-up to throw on over your swimsuit.
