Some types of diving are practically impossible to experience without a liveaboard. Whether it's logistics or the fact that "one dive just isn't enough to take it all in", these dives are just better from dive cruises.
Night divingThe ocean is a completely different place at night and worth experiencing during a night dive. Diving into the ocean at night is exciting and thrilling, and divers can enjoy seeing familiar dive sites completely differently. Learn more about night diving
Wreck divingAs soon as a ship sinks, its huge structure provides shelter for organisms in an often desolate seabed surrounding, resulting in it becoming rapidly inhabited by many forms of marine life. The structures are usually made of steel, which is exceptionally hard-wearing, giving an excellent foundation for larvae to grow, followed by soft corals that form a framework highly similar to natural reefs. This, in turn, attracts vast numbers of reef fish, joined by larger predators and pelagics. Some of the most intriguing wrecks are found far from the coast and, as such, difficult - if not impossible - to reach during a day trip. Learn more about wreck diving
Wall divingWall diving is exhilarating, and there is nothing quite like hovering at the edge of a wall and watching the vast, inky depths of the ocean below. It offers the opportunity to enjoy striking and unique terrains, colorful coral formations, plentiful reef fish, and larger pelagic species. The best (preserved) walls are found in areas that aren't overrun by tourists, and thus are usually only reachable by liveaboard. Learn more about wall diving
Tec divingTechnical diving, also referred to as "tech diving" or "tec diving", is any type of diving outside of recreational limits. It developed from a form of cave diving and typically involves dives that are beyond 40 meters (131 feet) deep or extend in an enclosed environment beyond 40 meters from the entry point. As such, liveaboards are the answer for divers who seek this kind of challenge. Learn more about technical diving
Ice divingIce diving is one of the most adventurous types of diving and is a great way to try something completely different. It is challenging, takes extra preparation, and differs from most recreational dive types. Due to the lack of resorts on the North and South Pole, liveaboards are the primary option for this kind of dive. Learn more about ice diving
Drift divingThere's nothing like a dive with a ripping current, coral whizzing by, and a frenzy of fish and little critters doing their best to hide from or fight the current. Some of the most beautiful diving locations in the world are home to currents that constantly replenish the reef with nutrients, and quite often, you'll need a liveaboard to get there.
