Vita Xplorer Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Vita Xplorer 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

Beautiful boat, amazing crew and awesome dives! A Stunning Vessel and an Unforgettable Dive Experience The boat is a true beauty—fully renovated in 2024, it gleams like it just rolled off the showroom floor. We were a group of four: two stayed in a main deck cabin with a double bed, while the other two enjoyed a cozy lower deck cabin with twin beds. Both cabins were stylish, comfortable, and cleverly designed to fit all your luggage under the bed (yes, even that suitcase you swore you'd pack light in). Plus, there are closets for all your extras—because we all know dive gear tends to multiply. Cabin Comforts & Charging Quirks Each cabin comes equipped with European-style two-pin outlets (French/Spanish...), and they’re also compatible with American plugs—no adapter gymnastics required. Just a heads-up: for safety reasons, you can’t leave your electronics charging while you're out diving. So, plan your power-ups accordingly! Top-Notch Dive Gear & Nitrox Perks We rented our equipment onboard and were pleasantly surprised with brand-new 5mm full wetsuits—no mystery smells or questionable zippers here. If you're doing multiple dives a day (and trust us, you will), we highly recommend diving with Nitrox—it’s included in the rate and makes a noticeable difference. For those looking to level up, the Nitrox course is also available onboard. Marine Magic & Culinary Overload We hit the jackpot underwater: two thresher sharks, a handful of hammerheads, and one majestic manta ray. The reef itself is thriving—vibrant corals, abundant marine life, and colors that make your camera work overtime. Now, the only “downside”? The food. And by downside, we mean you'll need a post-trip diet plan. The buffet-style meals—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks—are generous, delicious, and relentless. Resistance is futile. Crew That Feels Like Family The crew is exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your trip unforgettable. From dive briefings to snack refills, they’ve got you covered with a smile.”

Recommended for: The boat looks brand new as renovated in 2024. The crew takes care of you. The equipment is good, they provided a brand new wetsuit.
