There is diversity to the scuba diving in the Indonesia, which is almost unique. You can be diving a fleet of sunken WWII wrecks in the morning and be diving a Cathedral cave under water in the afternoon, and find yourself on the second largest coral reef in the world all on the same day with a liveaboard in the Indonesia.
Most people are diving on vacation and the usual routine goes something like this: Wake and eat breakfast. Locate gear, tanks etc. and get them to the boat for the dive briefing. Then load everything on the boat and off you go.
With a liveaboard, it is so much easier: Breakfast, wander to the dive deck for the pre dive briefing and put on scuba gear. Fall off the boat, which will have got itself in the right position during the night.
The writer's personal experience of liveaboards is limited to diving in the Indonesia, but I guess what is true for the Indonesia is probably true elsewhere.
My personal list as to why I love liveaboard diving goes like this:
No, gathering up gear and putting it in a boat before being fully kitted up. With the liveaboard, your gear is marked and ready to slip into.
Because the liveaboard will have got into the correct position for the dive using GPS, you will find yourself diving the more popular sites well before the shore-based crowds arrive.
Because the liveaboard is mobile, you can experience a much wider range of dives than is possible from a shore-based operation. Indeed, given the ease of diving from a liveaboard it is common to have three or four dives a day.
If you choose your liveaboard dive boat with care, you should be able to find one where your diving skills can be enhanced by getting to learn aspects of technical diving. This might relate to the use of multi gas mixes on a dive, or to the safety aspects of cave or wreck diving. It was not so long ago that Nitrox diving was regarded as technical diving and now just a few short years later it is the norm.
There are many PADI courses designed to take you from being a recreational diver to a technical diver with a range of specialties.
Choose your liveaboard well and the chances are that you can learn to dive with Scuba Komodo and experience aspects of diving unknown to recreational divers.
Costs. I remember looking at the costs of diving from a liveaboard the first time and how I swallowed hard. Then I realized that if I am diving from a liveaboard I am not paying a hotel room or all the attendant costs of hotel life.
This is the liveaboard in the Indonesia on which I based this short article. If I can just get people to look at the liveaboard alternatives to shore based diving I will feel my time writing this was well spent.
