Red Sea Liveaboard Diving

If you ask any diver who has been on a Red Sea liveaboard why they prefer liveaboard diving you're likely to get a hundred different answers. But, here are a few good reasons we think many divers prefer liveaboard diving over land-based diving.

1. Liveaboards give you the opportunity to dive remote and otherwise hard to access dive sites far beyond the range of daily diving boats.

2. Liveaboards are more comfortable and hassle-free.

3. You don't have to carry around heavy gear and tanks every day on liveaboards.

4. You have the freedom to dive your own plan and profile with common-sense guidelines.

5. You have more opportunity to see unique marine life and unspoiled reefs; fish life not as timid and you can usually get much closer to them.

6. Your scuba gear is always ready for any special opportunities. If you enjoy underwater photography, your chances to get better pictures improve greatly on liveaboards.
