Anne Bonny Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Anne Bonny 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.

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

Phenomenal!!! Do yourself a favor, just book now! We’ve never experienced a crew that takes such pride in their craft. The Anne Bonny is a sexy, elegant boutique boat. Our cabin was private & comfortable with plenty of storage. The crew & service exceeded any expectations we could have had. Especially Lolita & Super Sam! Lolita is one of the most professional & thorough dive masters we’ve experienced. She also gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our Indonesia adventures. There’s nothing Super Sam can’t do. The food & drink aboard are worth booking alone! Every course, every meal! Expect to add couple extra Kg to your dive gear. No joke, the food is incredible! I would recommend bringing cash before departing & bringing your own dive gear if possible. Rental gear onboard is in good condition & quality, but I’d prefer comfort & familiarity for more technical dives.”
