LeisurePro Tip: When going on a Caribbean vacation, there are many things to plan, including accommodations, food, scuba reservations, travel itinerary and entertainment. It can get pretty stressful, especially if you have to perform a lot of research about the destination. However, there is an alternative to traditional dive vacation planning; live-aboard dive cruises.
Live-aboard vessels are comparable to conventional cruise ships in that they offer overnight accommodations/quarters, follow a planned itinerary and the cost of meals are included in the price. But the advantages of a live aboard vessel to the scuba diving enthusiast are so much more! In addition to the benefit of visiting the major ports and shopping at the popular stores, like most conventional cruise lines offer, you also gain the access to secluded areas. You can take advantage of diving beautiful reefs, sunken ships and hidden caves with the required scuba diving equipment, where only a live-aboard dive boat can take you.
