Do you love traveling and diving? Liveaboard diving experiences are perfect for you. They give you a chance to explore new destinations and dive all in one trip—everything you love in one experience. You get to experience above- and below-water adventures.
Unlike waking up early, commuting to your launch spot, and taking a small boat to nearby diving locations, liveaboard diving experiences offer more to enjoy, enhancing your dives in many ways. Discover some of the benefits of diving from a liveaboard boat so you can decide if you want to indulge in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Accommodation, Food, and Transportation Coverage
Liveaboard diving boats are a travel triple threat—they cover your accommodation, food, and transportation. These all-encompassing boats allow you to travel with minimal hassle. You don’t have to worry about booking hotels, scouting for dining options, or hiring transportation. When you book a trip on a liveaboard diving boat, you check off multiple boxes on your travel checklist in one go.
Plus, liveaboard diving trips also cover your travel activities. For example, along with diving excursions, the Dewi Nusantara offers multiple other activities and entertainment, from island hopping to kayaking.
Easy Equipment Transportation
Between the tanks, BCDs, diving suits, snorkel gear, and various accessories, diving equipment consists of multiple individual pieces. A lot of those diving components also weigh a fair bit. Therefore, packing and transporting diving equipment isn’t easy.
On a liveaboard diving experience, you get to travel to multiple dive locations but only have to pack and do a major haul transportation with your equipment one time. Once you’ve brought your diving gear onboard, you don’t have to worry about repacking and restransporting your gear for the next destination. You just have to wake up, board your tender, gear up, and dive in. Furthermore, the Dewi Nusantara liveaboard offers plenty of rental equipment and supplies the air tanks, further reducing how much you have to pack and transport.
Meeting Like-Minded People
Becoming a diver leads to more than just underwater explorations. You also become a part of a community—a group of enthusiastic people passionate about the ocean. Divers have a love and respect for the water that many people don’t have.
Unlike regular cruises, liveaboard diving boats are all about diving. As a result, you won’t find just anyone onboard. Everyone who boards the boat is a diver—people with experience and a love for the ocean. This means you get to meet and surround yourself with like-minded people. On a diving liveaboard, you can encounter divers from all over the world looking to expand their diving repertoire. You get to share tips and tricks, location recommendations, and stories of past adventures. Diving liveaboards allow you to meet like-minded people and make life-long connections with those who share the same joys and passions.
Access to Remote Dive Spots
Water covers the majority of the earth’s surface, giving you an abundance of diving places to explore. However, a majority of those dive destinations are in isolated, remote areas that are hard to reach in one day. Liveaboard diving boats give you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit some of the most remote diving spots in the world. They let you traverse the waters for multiple days comfortably and with all your needs met. Liveaboards can make the long-distance trek from shore and get you to some of the best dive spots around the world.
Diving Without Tourist Crowds
Since liveaboards can access remote locations, they take you to dive spots that are rarely swum and experience very few tourists. Liveaboard diving destinations give you diving experiences without the crowds. You won’t have to deal with tourists getting in your photos or multiple people blocking your view.
Also, since most remote dive locations get minimal visitors each year, the surrounding marine life and ecosystems are better preserved. Isolated diving spots thrive with life and undisrupted nature. Essentially, liveaboard dives allow you to experience underwater destinations with minimal human disturbance.
Multiday Dive Spot Explorations
Diving trips traditionally involve traveling to and exploring one specific dive spot for a limited amount of time. On a liveaboard diving boat, however, you go on a multiday diving excursion. You get to visit a dive spot and experience it over multiple days, allowing you to fully explore and enjoy the destination. Plus, you don’t have to miss out on destinations. If it’s raining one day, you can always try diving it again the next. Come rain or shine, with multiple days to spare, you have plenty of opportunities to make it into the water and dive.
Cenderawasih Bay stretches across over 5,600 square miles, providing you with a vast underwater wilderness to explore. A single dive barely exposes you to all the wonders and marine life Cenderawasih National Park offers. A Cenderawasih Bay liveaboard lets you dive into the area multiple times, maximizing your visit by giving you plenty of opportunities to see as much of the bay as possible. Each day, you can explore a new corner of the bay.
Dive-Centered Days
Eat, dive, sleep, and repeat. Liveaboard diving boats are centered around diving, so you spend a lot of time in the water. In fact, your itinerary mainly consists of diving. On a liveaboard, you don’t have to worry about making time for commutes back home or trips to the bathroom and restaurants. With your boat doubling as your transportation and living quarters, you save a lot of time in your day by cutting out commutes. If you need to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom, you can just hop out of the water and then get right back in after. Therefore, you’ll definitely satisfy your diving itch on a liveaboard boat.
Ocean Exploration and Connection
Diving liveaboard boats strengthen your connection with the ocean. Every day, you get to experience and surround yourself with the beauty and brilliance of the ocean, above and below water. Spending so much time in and surrounded by the ocean enhances your love and appreciation for it. You get to see the ocean in all its glory—day or night, rain or shine.
