Dolphin Dream Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Dolphin Dream 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.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Unforgettable week diving with sharks, meeting new friends and enjoying delicious meals and sunshine on the boat. Some of my favorite diving, saw a ton of tiger sharks and hammerheads, and they are big, 10-15 ft (3-4 m) long, as well as bulls, lemons, reef and nurse sharks. The feeding dives were exciting but swimming around with the tiger sharks was equally cool to do, just joining them in their environment. Met a lot of wonderful people, everyone was very friendly, staff and other divers. The meals were incredible. I was shocked at how good the food was. And plenty of delicious snacks in between meals. The staff was very organized and always very helpful. And after diving enjoying the sun and warm weather of the Bahamas on the deck of the boat was a delight. Overall incredible trip.”

Recommended for: Tiger and Hammerhead Sharks Galore. Food quality and quantity, surprisingly delicious meals and plenty of delicious snacks between dives. Staff was very organized and always provided clear direction and communication.
