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.

*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.

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.
