TemuKira Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this TemuKira 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 taughter 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.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Everything you want and more. The Temukira is a beautiful boat. It has space for 12 people but we were with 6 guests only which was perfect. The dive spots in Komodo were breathtaking and so versatile. This was our first liveaboard experience and it leaves us wanting more. The crew was so friendly and hospitable. We had better service than in most of the hotels we visisted during our trip. For first timers like us, 2 tips: 1. make yourself familiar with the tipping culture to make sure the crew can get what they deserve. 2. Know your limits. Skipping maybe one dive will give you extra energy for the next day.”
