Resort diving offers you the most comfort and convenience 

Most people dive and snorkel as a part of their holiday.

A diving liveaboard gives you the most out of your diving trip 

Diving liveaboard gives you all the time needed to get to difficult to reach diving spots. It will also afford you to dive so much more compared to when you’re based on land. Having to go to your diving spots from lands already takes a portion of your day out for travel time. Then you’ll have to add the time required to reach the land back before the sun sets. You won’t have to worry about this if you’re living on a boat.

A liveaboard trip is not for everyone 

Living on the sea, waking up to the endless horizons and watching the gorgeous tropical Indonesian sunset unobstructed may not be as romantic as it sounds when you actually get to experience it. Remember that you’re going to live faraway from lands. That means you’re going to be cut off from everyday conveniences you may have taken for granted before you actually get to live fully on board.

Rooms are often cramped. Even when you’re on a more upscale boat like a luxury liveaboard Komodo, don’t expect to have the luxury of abundant space unlike when you’re comfortably in the land. You’re also going to live with anywhere from at least 6 to 20 people onboard (think about the staff working as well).
