Quality food, beautiful dives and incredible staff. My time on the lucky marine Liveaboard was amazing. The bed and room were cosy enough, the food was always absolutely phenomenal and the dives were beautiful. The highlight of the trip were all the staff though, going above and beyond to make the Liveaboard an experience. I will definitely be coming back to this ship and crew in the future. Thank you again everyone!”

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Lucky Marine 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

Great first liveaboard experience with friendly staff, tasty food and well-organized diving. I did the trip solo in mid-March 2025 and stayed in a budget cabin. Me and one other guy came alone, the rest of the customers came in groups. The other rooms have private bathrooms, which are definitely more convenient. My cabin was clean, the bed was long and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well—I never felt hot. The only downside is that there’s not much space for luggage. The food on board was tasty, with full meals and snacks available all day. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the trip. The boat owner was onboard the entire time, he was actively working and making sure everything ran smoothly. Evenings were relaxed, you could hang out on the top deck with some chill DJ music. One of the staff members mixes, and he's actually pretty good. Diving Experience I rented gear and had no issues at all. Everything was well maintained. On the first day, my BCD was a bit too small, but the crew quickly helped me switch to a better size for the rest of the trip. They were very accommodating. As for the dives themselves, everything went smoothly. I was in a group with four Thai divers who brought along their own instructor. He was fantastic, super professional and friendly, both in and out of the water.”

Recommended for: Great staff. Good planning. Good food.
