“BDE route in luxury. The brothers-deadalus-elphinstone itinerary is one of the best in the world to see large pelagic animals. + 2 dive days on shallower reefs to see some Macro and do night dives. Last day we went to "Dolphin house" reef, it was magical.”

Serenity Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Serenity 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.

Quick Serenity Liveaboard Review Navigation

For easy navigation to check my SDE Liveaboard Rating scores for the Serenity Liveaboard, use the light blue navigation links (e.g. "Boat Features 7/10"). Each category can score up to 10 points based on its onboard features. I've added these scores together to calculate the overall *Serenity Liveaboard SDE Liveaboard Rating of 55% shown below.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Serenity Liveaboard: 55%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Serenity 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 Serenity Liveaboard are ([Diving:10/10] + [Cabin:5/10] + [Boat:7/10] + [Dining:7/10] + [Drinks:2/10] + [Non-diver:2/10] = 33/60). This total is compared to the maximum possible score of 60/60 to turn it into an overall percentage – which for the Serenity Liveaboard is calculated as 33/60 = 55% SDE Liveaboard Rating.

This makes it easy to compare different liveaboards at a glance. See a more detailed explanation of how SDE Liveaboard Rating works together with all dive liveaboards ranked by SDE Liveaboard Rating .

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the Serenity Liveaboard

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

The Serenity 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 has free WiFi internet onboard, which makes it easier to back up RAW files to the cloud and share images with friends and family while you are at sea.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Awesome liveaboard exceeding expectations. First time on a liveaboard here; I actually think we got lucky booking Serenity and no other boat. All my expectations were exceeded; food was great and varied (no problemo with the tummy), crew was always happy and helping, guides were superb, especially Helal. They were very focused on safety, even doing fire/emergency drills before we set sail. Rooms exceeded expectations as well (upper deck with a view, can recommend). Free snacks were available in infinity. If I'd go again I'd choose this boat (this time we went north.. perhaps south next time?). Itinerary was good and varied :) A lot of cool wrecks varied with beautiful reefs! Guests on the boat were varied in age and gender, but mostly from Europe :)”
