Felicity Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Felicity Liveaboard review to help you confidently choose and book the right liveaboard. 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 and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. 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.

Quick Felicity Liveaboard Review Navigation

For easy navigation to check my SDE Liveaboard Rating scores for the Felicity Liveaboard, use the light blue navigation links (e.g. "Boat Features 9/10"). Each category can score up to 10 points based on its onboard features. I've added these scores together to calculate the overall *Felicity Liveaboard SDE Liveaboard Rating of 73% shown below.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Felicity Liveaboard: 73%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Felicity 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 Felicity Liveaboard are ([Diving:8/10] + [Cabin:5/10] + [Boat:9/10] + [Dining:9/10] + [Drinks:8/10] + [Non-diver:5/10] = 44/60). This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the Felicity Liveaboard is calculated as 44/60 = 73% 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 .

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the Felicity Liveaboard

My score of the Felicity Liveaboard is 3/5 on the SDE Underwater Photographer Rating, as it has 3 of the 5 key photographer facilities (see below).

The Felicity Liveaboard offers a separate rinse tank for underwater cameras, which is crucial for protecting expensive camera equipment from scratches and damage. Also a dedicated camera tank avoids any risks that can arise from sharing space with general diving gear, such as regulators, wetsuits, and heavy fins to avoid contamitation from sand, salt, debris and any chemicals.

In addition, it provides dedicated charging stations for cameras, strobes, torches and laptops so your batteries are always topped up and ready for your next dive. What’s more, it has free WiFi internet onboard, which makes it easier to back up RAW files to the cloud and share images with friends and family while you are at sea.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Maldives. ..I'm Come back. I had the incredible chance to spend a week aboard the MY Felicity for a diving cruise in the Maldives, and it was simply outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the whole team welcomed us with genuine warmth and smiles. You quickly feel like part of the family. A special thank you to Kandle, our dive guide, for his professionalism, contagious passion, and always-clear explanations. Thanks to him, every dive was a real adventure, full of discoveries and always in complete safety. He knows the sites like the back of his hand and takes you exactly where you need to be to experience magical moments. The dives were spectacular: colorful reefs, huge schools of fish… and even several unforgettable encounters with sharks! Every immersion left us grinning from ear to ear. On board, the crew took great care of us: delicious meals, comfortable cabins, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. You can truly feel that they love what they do and want to give divers the best possible experience. In short: MY Felicity + amazing crew + Kandle the guide = memories for a lifetime. I 100% recommend it to all diving lovers!”

Recommended for: Dive sites. Dive guide Kandle. The crow.
