Ocean Divine Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Ocean Divine 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.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Excellent experience on Ocean Divine. The diving first of all, was incredible! The boat is comfortable, water pressure good, air con works well, the food was well prepared and had good variety. I am a vegetarian so I missed on many of the specialties but still greatly enjoyed my meals. There was fresh fruit every day, fresh caught fish most nights, fresh squeezed juices, desserts and good cocktails. The dive masters Anais, Alan and Ripon were knowledgeable and careful of our safety and also aware of the sustainability of diving. They were friendly and professional. There are two things I think could be improved: we spent 2 nights in the Male harbor which was unpleasant with not so pretty city in sight, numerous boats and constant airplanes passing. Also, on the last day, we felt in the way. There was a lot of preparation for the guests arriving next day. It would be best if a group activity - such as a city tour- could be organized instead so that the current guests can be off the boat during the deliveries, unpacking etc. Overall an amazing trip which I highly recommend.”

Recommended for: Marine life, crew, the other divers.
