You wake up in your hotel, breakfast and wash impateintly. You gather together all your diving equipment and tramp down the beach with it, or wait for a bus, or try to drive to the diving spot in your wetsuit…
Any diver will recognise this description of the morning routine on a conventional diving holiday. Yes, all diving holidays are treats for those who love the thrill of underwater adventure. But, for the lucky few who know the secret, it is possible to take the next step and launch yourself into a non-stop 24 hour diving experience - by booking a Planet Dive liveaboard.
On a liveaboard, you and your holiday group live on board a luxurious boat, steered by experts on a special itinerary to the very best dive sites in the open water. Because your starting point isn't the beach, you'll be able to dive in much deeper waters than is ever possible when staying in a hotel for a diving holiday. Exceptional attractions in the Red Sea area include likely sightings of pelagic life (including a high likelihood of seeing sharks!) and of fascinating old wrecks.
In fact, a liveaboard offers so many interesting opportunities that it's a great way for the dive-lovers of the family to bring along non-divers, such as partners or children, on a diving holiday. Instead of camping out at a resort which may not offer much else beyond good diving, on a liveaboard the whole party enjoys the cruise experience. You'll be staying with other holiday groups on the boat, and the cosy boat lifestyle makes it a great way to socialise - though of course, as in a hotel, every group has the option of retreating to their own luxurious cabins.
Planet Dive offers the Red Sea experience via Egypt, with divers flying from Gatwick to Hurghada. Three different customised itineraries allow the liveaboard experience in three different regions of the famous sea. The Northern itinerary offers a wide variety of dives, and a large overall number of dives: perfect for people who love new experience and who want to get as many dives as possible out of their holiday. In the Southern Marine Parks, dive sites are far less crowded, meaning that you'll have fewer other divers cramping the space, and a high likelihood of seeing pelagic life such as sharks. (Due to these factors, the Southern Marine Parks should only be toured by experienced divers.) Lastly, the Deep South is the ideal area for less experienced divers, and offers holiday-makers the chance to experience the unique reef formations that the Red Sea is famous for.
So whatever your priorities, a liveaboard offers an in-depth experience which any diver will remember for the rest of his or her life: living at sea for a week or two, diving straight into the water and enjoying dives which just aren't possible for hotel-based holidaymakers.
