In addition, If you plan to do technical diving, the Bismarck Liveaboard supports it, but before you finalise your trip, check the typical dive depths, available gases, and whether stage and decompression cylinders are supported on your chosen itinerary. What’s more, If you dive rebreather, the Bismarck Liveaboard provides support, but it’s worth confirming in advance which rebreathers are supported and whether oxygen fills, sorb availability, and bailout requirements are in place, because this can vary by region and itinerary.

If you dive sidemount, the Bismarck Liveaboard supports it, but when planning your dives check cylinder options and the deck set-up, so your configuration is comfortable and properly supported for the dives planned.
