How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Aphrodite Liveaboard: 80%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating is Scuba Diving Earth’s own scoring system for comparing dive liveaboards at a glance. It adds together six individual category scores, each scored out of 10, covering the boat, cabins, diving, food, drinks, and non-diver companion features.

For the Aphrodite Liveaboard, those category scores combine into an overall SDE Liveaboard Rating of 80%. This helps you compare the overall onboard experience more quickly across the liveaboards shown below.

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Aphrodite Liveaboard works by taking the six individual SDE Liveaboard Rating scores, with each one being scored out of 10 and then adding them together. For the Aphrodite Liveaboard are ([Diving:10/10] + [Cabin:7/10] + [Boat:7/10] + [Dining:9/10] + [Drinks:0/10] + [Non-diver:6/10] = 39/60). This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the Aphrodite Liveaboard is calculated as 39/60 = 80% SDE Liveaboard Rating.

This makes it easy to compare different liveaboards at a glance. See a more detailed explanation of how SDE Liveaboard Rating works together with all dive liveaboards ranked by SDE Liveaboard Rating .
