“Wonderful diving, beautiful boat, awesome crew. This was our first longish liveaboard and it was an unforgettable experience! We went in May so the sea was a bit rough but the crew made it as safe and comfortable as possible for us. We saw whale sharks, mantas, so many rays, reef sharks...couldn't ask for more.”

Adora Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Adora 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, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the Adora Liveaboard is calculated as 42/60 = 70% SDE Liveaboard Rating.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Wonderful and unforgettable. My experience with Adora was fantastic. We saw several species of sharks, snorkeled with two (!) whale sharks at night, one more whale shark the day after, several mantas at night and two more the day after at their cleaning station. Plus eagle and sting rays, big turtle, octopus, and so on. The diving was very beautiful and our guides very professional. The staff both for the diving and in the boat was extremely friendly, kind, funny. They really made the experience even more enjoyable. The boat itself is great, spacious and cozy, huge rooms and everything well functioning. Big thanks to Deko, Ismail and the rest of the team!”

Recommended for: Whale sharks, mantas, friendly staff.
