Why should you book the Bahamas Master Liveaboard

Why should you book the Bahamas Master Liveaboard?

The Bahamas Master is a custom-built dive boat that ‘s great for scuba divers. So if you’re not looking to scuba dive the Islands of the Bahamas, the Bahamas Master is not for you.

You can scuba dive the Bahamas from a land-based resort. But the disadvantage of this is you won’t be able to dive as much as you can on a liveaboard dive boat. This is another reason to book the Bahamas Master liveaboard for a scuba diving trip of a lifetime.

One dive site the Bahamas Master does dive is Tiger Beach to dive with tiger sharks. You may also end up diving the DC3 Airplane and Long Island Lady Wrecks. The large DC3 airplane appeared in the Hollywood Film, into the Blue, starring Jessica Alba.

The Scuba Diving Earth Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating) is explained on each liveaboard review when you click the “Discover Liveaboard” link, and is my own Liveaboard Luxury Rating I’ve assigned to all liveaboards. Choosing between liveaboards is helped by customer scores, and if you get stuck choosing between two or three liveaboards, where each one has a high customer score out of 10, you can use the SDE Luxury Rating to help narrow down your choice.

Think about it like using Booking.com when searching for the best hotel. Booking.com also use a customer score where each customer rates hotels out of 10. This is similar to the liveaboard customer rating, which is also rated out of 10. But let’s say you only like to stay in hotels rated 8 and above on Booking.com, but you also want the hotel to have WIFI or parking, or to have a swimming pool etc. The features each hotel has is usually secondary to the score out of 10.
