Tiare Cruise Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Tiare Cruise Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Diving Komodo in comfort with a full belly. My second liveaboard experience, thoroughly enjoyed my time exploring all around Komodo. The diving was the best I have experienced, in my limited exposure. The crew were constantly adjusting the schedule to adapt to the changing conditions. Special mention to the food, which was delicious and plentiful. Looking forward to finding time to return and dive Raja on this boat.”

Recommended for: Dedicated crew keen to ensure everyone had the best time possible. Delicious food. Small dive groups.
