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 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 Ocean Divine Liveaboard: 90%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Ocean Divine liveaboard works by taking the six individual SDE Liveaboard Rating scores, with each one being scored out of 10 and then adding them together.

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the Ocean Divine Liveaboard

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

The Ocean Divine 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 Ocean Divine Liveaboard

My score of the Ocean Divine liveaboard is 2/3 on the SDE Tech Diving Rating, as it has 2 of the 3 key technical diving features (see below).

If you dive with a rebreather the Ocean Divine 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 Ocean Divine 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.

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.
