It seems that the number of significant issues aboard red sea live-aboard dive boats has caused the Brits to sound the alarm. It's being covered more widely than I expected.

 
Unfortunately, many people won't read those, and even those who do, will disregard the good advice. At the very least, you want to make sure and book through a reputable vendor AND check your travel insurance thoroughly to see exactly what it covers and what it doesn't AND what the contract with the liveaboard covers and what it doesn't BEFORE YOU SIGN AND be prepared that your liveaboard may not sail. People don't do this and then you are screwed. They say "I didn't know." This is why anyone should always thoroughly review any contract, and especially the ones for a great deal of money.
