MY Gypsy Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this MY Gypsy 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.

For easy navigation to check my SDE Liveaboard Rating scores for the MY Gypsy 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 *MY Gypsy Liveaboard SDE Liveaboard Rating of 76% shown below.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the MY Gypsy Liveaboard: 76%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the MY Gypsy 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 MY Gypsy Liveaboard are ([Diving:10/10] + [Cabin:5/10] + [Boat:9/10] + [Dining:9/10] + [Drinks:9/10] + [Non-diver:4/10] = 46/60). This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the MY Gypsy Liveaboard is calculated as 46/60 = 76% SDE Liveaboard Rating.

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the MY Gypsy Liveaboard

My score of the MY Gypsy Liveaboard is 4/5 on the SDE Underwater Photographer Rating, as it has 4 of the 5 key photographer facilities (see below).

The MY Gypsy Liveaboard has a dedicated camera station close to the dive deck, which lets you gear up quickly, check your housing and swap batteries or memory cards between dives. In addition, it 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. What’s more, it provides dedicated charging stations for cameras, strobes, torches and laptops so your batteries are always topped up and ready for your next dive.

You’ll also find it offers WiFi internet onboard as a paid extra, so you can still back up key images and stay connected between dives if you need to.

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Technical Diving Features for the MY Gypsy Liveaboard

If you dive with a rebreather the MY Gypsy Liveaboard provides rebreather support, but it’s worth confirming in advance which rebreathers are supported and whether oxygen fills, sorb availability, and bailout requirements are onboard, because this can vary by region and itinerary. In addition, If you like to dive sidemount style the MY Gypsy Liveaboard supports sidemount diving, but when you plan your dives check the boat’s cylinder options and the deck set-up, so your configuration is comfortable and properly supported for the dives planned.
